What is Darbot-Deepmind-MCP copilot-instructions.md?

A set of coding instructions for GitHub Copilot when working on the Darbot Deepmind MCP Server, a TypeScript server that follows the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard way for AI tools to communicate with software.

Use it when adding or changing code in this project, especially TypeScript functions, validation, tests, linting, or formatting.

It gives Copilot the project's structure, required tools, coding rules, and TypeScript conventions so its suggestions fit the codebase.

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 5.1	$0.01370	$0.01370
Opus 5.5	$0.00548	$0.00548
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00274	$0.00274

Security

Grade A, and why

Darbot-Deepmind-MCP copilot-instructions.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 2mo 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.

GitHub Copilot Instructions for Darbot Deepmind MCP

This document provides guidance to GitHub Copilot when working on the Darbot Deepmind MCP Server project.

Project Overview

Darbot Deepmind MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides advanced AI reasoning capabilities through a structured thinking framework. It enables sophisticated, step-by-step reasoning and problem-solving with dynamic thought processes and adaptive planning.

Technology Stack

Language: TypeScript 5.9.3+ with strict type checking
Runtime: Node.js 20.19.0 or higher
Key Dependencies:
- @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.26.0 - MCP protocol implementation
- @github/copilot-sdk ^0.1.25 - GitHub Copilot integration (planned)
- zod ^4.3.6 - Schema validation
- chalk - Console output formatting
Testing: Jest 30 test framework
Linting: ESLint 10 with flat config (eslint.config.mjs)
Code Quality: ESLint and Prettier

Coding Standards

TypeScript Guidelines

Use strict TypeScript settings - avoid any types whenever possible
Provide explicit type annotations for function parameters and return values
Leverage union types and generics appropriately
Use z.infer for deriving types from Zod schemas
Prefer interfaces for object shapes, types for unions/intersections

Code Style

Use 2 spaces for indentation (no tabs)
Use meaningful, descriptive variable and function names
Add JSDoc comments for all public methods and exported functions
Follow the existing code structure and patterns
Keep functions focused and single-purpose

Error Handling

Use proper error handling with try/catch blocks
Throw McpError for MCP-specific errors with appropriate error codes
Provide meaningful, actionable error messages
Validate inputs using Zod schemas before processing

MCP Server Patterns

Tool Implementation

When implementing or modifying MCP tools:

Define tools using the MCP SDK Tool type
Use Zod schemas for input validation
Return structured responses with consistent formats
Handle both successful and error cases explicitly

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.
