toolkit-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

toolkit-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server. It costs 8,959 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of obsidian-mcp-server AGENTS.md, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for developing toolkit-mcp-server, a server that exposes tools and other capabilities through MCP. They define the project’s software versions, development protocol, patterns, and suggested next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when setting up the project, designing or adding tools, resources, prompts, services, and tests, or deciding what development work should come next.
Why use it?
They give contributors the project-specific rules needed to change the server consistently. They also point to the framework documentation that explains the available programming interfaces.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on toolkit-mcp-server 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 toolkit-mcp-server 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

toolkit-mcp-server 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

77% identical to obsidian-mcp-server AGENTS.md — 409 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 469 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Developer Protocol

Server: toolkit-mcp-server Version: 2.4.0 Framework: @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core ^0.13.18 Engines: Bun ≥1.4.0, Node ≥24.0.0 MCP SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/server ^2.4.0 (via the framework — not a direct dependency) Zod: ^4.6.7

Read the framework docs first: node_modules/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/CLAUDE.md contains the full API reference — builders, Context, error codes, exports, patterns. This file covers server-specific conventions only.


What's Next?

When the user asks what's next or needs direction, suggest options based on the current project state. Common next steps:

  1. Re-run the setup skill — ensures CLAUDE.md, skills, structure, and metadata are populated and up to date with the current codebase
  2. Run the design-mcp-server skill — if the tool/resource surface hasn't been mapped yet, work through domain design
  3. Add tools/resources/prompts — scaffold new definitions using the add-tool, add-app-tool, add-resource, add-prompt skills
  4. Add services — scaffold domain service integrations using the add-service skill
  5. Add tests — scaffold tests for existing definitions using the add-test skill
  6. Field-test definitions — exercise tools/resources/prompts with real inputs using the field-test skill, get a report of issues and pain points
  7. Run devcheck — lint, format, typecheck, and security audit
  8. Run the security-pass skill — audit handlers for MCP-specific security gaps: output injection, scope blast radius, input sinks, tenant isolation
  9. Run the polish-docs-meta skill — finalize README, CHANGELOG, metadata, and agent protocol for shipping
  10. Run the maintenance skill — investigate changelogs, adopt upstream changes, and sync skills after bun update --latest

Tailor suggestions to what's actually missing or stale — don't recite the full list every time.

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.
