meta-data-mcp AGENTS.md

meta-data-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from derekslinz/meta-data-mcp. It costs 1,623 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for meta-data-mcp, a server that gives an AI agent access to 66 open-data providers through one tool namespace. Open data is publicly available information, such as statistics or geographic data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or extending the server, its command-line interface, provider registry, routing, data normalization, federation, or citation handling.
Why use it?
They explain how the repository discovers, ranks, combines, and cites data providers. This helps agents understand where to make changes and how the server’s parts fit together.

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

meta-data-mcp AGENTS.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 5d 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 this repo is

One MCP server (meta-data-mcp) that exposes 66 open-data plugins under a single tool namespace. An LLM calls opendata_providers_find to discover which plugin to use, then calls that plugin's tool directly. The server can also scaffold and hot-load new plugins at runtime via opendata_plugins_draft + opendata_plugins_create.

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.
