Why use it?
It gives Claude Code the project-specific context needed to navigate the repository and follow its development process.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is danielrosehill/donetick-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on donetick-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 donetick-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

donetick-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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to donetick-mcp-server CLAUDE.md — 0 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.

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

Project Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Donetick chores management. It enables Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants to interact with a Donetick instance through a rate-limited API.

Key Technologies:

  • Python 3.11+
  • MCP SDK (>=1.20.0)
  • httpx for async HTTP
  • Pydantic for data validation
  • Docker for containerization

Project Structure

The project follows a clean directory structure:

donetick-mcp-server/
├── src/donetick_mcp/       # Source code
│   ├── server.py           # MCP server implementation
│   ├── client.py           # API client with rate limiting
│   ├── models.py           # Pydantic data models
│   └── config.py           # Configuration management
├── tests/                  # Formal test suite (pytest)
│   ├── test_client.py      # Unit tests for API client
│   └── test_server.py      # Integration tests for MCP server
├── tmp/                    # Temporary files (gitignored)
│   └── *.py                # Ad-hoc testing, analysis, verification scripts
├── .gitignore              # Excludes tmp/, venv/, build artifacts
└── pyproject.toml          # Project dependencies and metadata

Important Conventions:

  • Source code: Always in src/donetick_mcp/
  • Formal tests: Always in tests/ (run via pytest)
  • Temporary files: Always in tmp/ for analysis, verification, one-off testing
  • Never commit: Files in tmp/ are gitignored - use for local experimentation only

When creating test scripts for verification or analysis, always place them in tmp/ to keep the project root clean. The formal test suite in tests/ should be reserved for permanent, repeatable tests that are part of CI/CD.

Development Commands

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

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.
