Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.01256 | $0.01256 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00628 | $0.00628 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00251 | $0.00251 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00126 | $0.00126 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-for-splunk 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 today.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — coding agents in this repo
Instructions for AI coding agents (Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Claude Code, etc.)
working in this repository. For agents that only call the running MCP
server, prefer llms.txt and
mcp_itsi/llms.txt.
Project overview
- Product: MCP Server for Splunk — FastMCP 4 / MCP SDK v2 tools, resources, and prompts over Splunk Enterprise/Cloud (+ optional ITSI plugin).
- Runtime pin:
fastmcp==4.0.0b4(seepyproject.toml/uv.lock). - Layout:
src/— core server, tools, resources, middlewaremcp_itsi/— ITSI plugin package (also packaged underpackaging/mcp-itsi-server)contrib/— community tools/workflowsscripts/— live probes and operator helpersdocs/— human docs; followdocs/readme-guide.mdwhen editing Markdowntests/— pytest suite
Setup
cp env.example .env # fill Splunk host + token or user/password
uv sync --extra dev
Useful entry points:
uv run mcp-server --local # local HTTP defaults (sessionless)
uv run python src/server.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8014
Build / lint / test
uv run ruff check src/ tests/
uv run mypy src/core/client_config_cache.py # targeted; full mypy via CI lint job
uv run pytest tests/ -q --ignore=tests/integration
Live Splunk (credentials via env, never commit secrets):
uv run python scripts/test_live_splunk_tools.py
uv run python scripts/test_live_mcp_client.py # in-memory FastMCP Client
uv run python scripts/test_sessionless_http.py # needs MCP_URL + SPLUNK_TOKEN
Always regenerate the lockfile when changing deps:
uv lock
uv lock --check
Dependabot PRs that only edit pyproject.toml floors without uv.lock are incomplete.
Conventions
- Python: 3.10+; keep modules focused; prefer composition over large god-files.
- File size: stay under ~500 lines; split earlier around ~400.
- Imports: top of module only (no inline imports unless a documented cycle).
- Markdown: follow
.cursorrules/docs/readme-guide.md(one H1, short paragraphs, fenced code with language tags). - HTTP client modes: sessionless is the default
(
MCP_STATELESS_HTTP=true). Seedocs/guides/configuration/http-client-modes.md. - Workflows: OpenAI Agents
workflow_runnerwas removed (Option C). Keep JSON discovery/authoring tools only (list_workflows,workflow_builder,workflow_requirements). - Saved-search ACL: read ownership from
entity.accessviasrc/tools/search/saved_search_acl.py— notcontent['eai:acl']. - ITSI packaging:
mcp_itsi/andpackaging/mcp-itsi-server/mcp_itsi/may be hardlinked — edit once, verify both paths if unsure.
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.

mcp-for-splunk AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository deslicer/mcp-for-splunk (27 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,256 tokens to every session, about $0.0063 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
