What is VS-MCPServer CLAUDE.md?

A set of CLAUDE.md instructions for developing the VS-MCPServer project. It covers repository rules, GitHub workflow, commit naming, Microsoft C# practices, WPF interfaces, and testing.

Use it when working on the VS-MCPServer codebase, especially when creating features, fixing bugs, managing issues, or preparing pull requests.

It tells a coding agent how this project expects changes to be made and reviewed. This helps avoid incorrect branches, commits, interfaces, or incomplete tests.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.01640	$0.01640
Opus 5	$0.00820	$0.00820
Sonnet 5	$0.00328	$0.00328
Haiku 4.5	$0.00164	$0.00164

Security

Grade A, and why

VS-MCPServer CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Critical Rules

These rules override all other instructions:

NEVER commit directly to main - Always create a feature branch and submit a pull request
Conventional commits - Format: type(scope): description
GitHub Issues for TODOs - Use gh CLI to manage issues, no local TODO files. Use conventional commit format for issue titles
Pull Request titles - Use conventional commit format (same as commits)
Branch naming - Use format: type/scope/short-description (e.g., feat/tools/add-debug-tools)
Working an issue - Always create a new branch from an updated main branch
Check branch status before pushing - Verify the remote tracking branch still exists. If a PR was merged/deleted, create a new branch from main instead
Microsoft coding guidelines - Follow Microsoft C# coding conventions and .NET library design guidelines
WPF for all UI - All UI must be implemented using WPF (XAML/C#). No web-based technologies (HTML, JavaScript, WebView)
Write tests - All new/refactored code requires tests where applicable
Run validation before commits - Run dotnet build and verify no errors before committing
No co-authors - Do not add co-author information on commits or pull requests
No "generated by" statements - Do not add generated-by statements on pull requests

GitHub CLI Commands

gh issue list                    # List open issues
gh issue view <number>           # View details
gh issue create --title "type(scope): description" --body "..."
gh issue close <number>

Conventional Commit Types

Type	Description
`feat`	New feature
`fix`	Bug fix
`docs`	Documentation only
`refactor`	Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
`test`	Adding or updating tests
`chore`	Maintenance tasks
`perf`	Performance improvement
`ci`	CI/CD changes

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
