MCPg: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

MCPg CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from devopam/MCPg. It costs 1,559 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for MCPg, a PostgreSQL database server that exposes database operations to AI assistants through MCP. PostgreSQL is a relational database system, and MCP is a standard for connecting assistants to tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing, testing, documenting, packaging, or checking the safety rules of the MCPg server.
Why use it?
They point the coding agent to the project's source of truth and emphasize checking claims against the code, command line, or live service.

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

This is devopam/MCPg's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on MCPg 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 MCPg 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

MCPg 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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — MCPg project memory

Durable facts and conventions for working in this repo. Kept short so it stays true; verify anything here against the code before relying on it.

What MCPg is

A production-grade PostgreSQL MCP server. Single-process, async (asyncio), Python 3.12–3.14. 279 MCP tools (read-only mode exposes a subset). Ships to PyPI (mcpg), GHCR, the MCP registry, Smithery, and a read-only HF Spaces demo.

Golden rules

  • Verify before you write — especially docs. Every claim in a doc must be checked against the code, the CLI, or a live endpoint, never from memory. This is a hard project rule.
  • Generated beats hand-maintained. If a catalogue can drift, it's generated and guarded by a test. Don't hand-edit generated blocks.
  • Commit per logical slice, push often. Big multi-batch changes have been lost to context resets — small commits survive.
  • Never hand-edit src/mcpg/_vendor/ (see below).

Source-of-truth map (don't duplicate these — point at them)

  • Version: src/mcpg/__init__.py __version__. pyproject.toml reads it dynamically via hatchling (dynamic = ["version"]). The MCPB bundle pins are synced by packaging/mcpb/sync_version.py; tests/unit/test_mcpb_bundle.py enforces the match. The Cursor plugin version in .cursor-plugin/plugin.json and the uvx [email protected] pin in packaging/cursor/mcp.json are synced by packaging/cursor/sync_plugin_version.py (tests/unit/test_cursor_plugin.py). A release bumps exactly one line, then runs the sync scripts.
  • Tool surface: tests/contract/tool_surface.snapshot.json (281 tools) is the contract. about.py's tool_count = len(tool_names). Two contract snapshots (surface + return shapes) — regenerate with MCPG_REGENERATE_TOOL_SNAPSHOT=1 / MCPG_REGENERATE_TOOL_RETURN_SHAPES=1 and commit the diffs.
  • Doc reference tables: the tool index (docs/tools.md) and module map (docs/architecture.md) are generated by tools/generate_doc_tables.py and guarded by tests/contract/test_doc_tables.py. Regenerate and paste between the <!-- BEGIN/END generated --> markers; don't hand-edit.
  • Access modes: src/mcpg/policy.py. read-only (reads) / restricted (reads + DML writes — the "safe read-write" tier) / unrestricted (everything). DDL / SHELL / LISTEN (and MIGRATE, which piggybacks on DDL) each additionally need MCPG_ALLOW_* in unrestricted mode.
  • NL→SQL providers: 19 built-in via the _PROVIDERS registry in src/mcpg/nl2sql.py (single source; deviating key env vars: HF_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, DEEPINFRA_TOKEN). The provider table in docs/user-guide.md mirrors it.

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.
