compare-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

compare-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Cristophereasygoing927/compare-mcp. It costs 281 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for compare-mcp, an MCP server that asks several language models to review code and combines their findings. MCP is a standard way for an agent to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure providers, run multi-model code reviews, synthesize critiques, manage review todos, and check the project with tests and linting.
Why use it?
It helps you understand how model providers, duplicate-finding removal, cross-model debate, and todo tracking fit together before running or changing the server.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is Cristophereasygoing927/compare-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on compare-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything compare-mcp configures →

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

compare-mcp 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

compare-mcp

MCP server for multi-model code review inside Claude Code CLI.

Architecture

  • compare_mcp/config.py — loads ~/.compare/config.json, expands $ENV_VAR references
  • compare_mcp/models.py — provider adapters (anthropic, openai_compat, cli subprocess)
  • compare_mcp/diff.py — rapidfuzz-based insight deduplication
  • compare_mcp/debate.py — cross-model critique + synthesis
  • compare_mcp/store.py — aiosqlite todo CRUD
  • compare_mcp/server.py — FastMCP server, 7 tools
  • .claude/skills/compare/SKILL.md — /compare slash command

Running

python -m compare_mcp          # start MCP server
pytest                          # run tests
ruff check .                    # lint

Key decisions

  • mcp package (official MCP Python SDK), not the fastmcp PyPI package
  • dedup_threshold is configurable (default 0.75) — tune per use case
  • debate capped at 4 providers to limit API call explosion
  • compare_todos accepts either diff's recommended or debate's refined_findings
  • compare_todo_update exists so subagents can mark todos done after fixing
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
