What is mantisbt-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

A Claude Code integration that connects to MantisBT, an issue-tracking system, through its REST API. It lets MCP-compatible clients work with issues from the editor.

Reading, creating, and updating MantisBT issues, plus building, testing, type-checking, and developing the integration.

It avoids switching between the editor and MantisBT for common issue tasks, while documenting the project’s build and compatibility rules.

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	$0.00748	$0.00748
Opus 5	$0.00374	$0.00374
Sonnet 5	$0.00150	$0.00150
Haiku 4.5	$0.00075	$0.00075

Security

Grade A, and why

mantisbt-mcp-server 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.

CLAUDE.md – mantisbt-mcp-server

What is this project?

An MCP server (Model Context Protocol) integrating the MantisBT REST API into Claude Code and other MCP-capable clients. Issues can be read, created, and updated without leaving the editor.

Tech stack

TypeScript, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, ESM module ("type": "module")
Zod for schema validation
stdio transport by default; HTTP (Streamable HTTP) via TRANSPORT=http
Fetch-based API client — no axios, no heavy dependencies
Tools registered in src/tools/**/*.ts; cache in src/cache.ts; search module in src/search/

Key Commands

npm install       # Install dependencies
npm run build     # Compile TypeScript → dist/
npm run typecheck # Type check without output (fast)
npm run dev       # Watch mode for development
npm test          # Run tests (vitest)
npm run init      # First-time setup: checks Node ≥18, installs deps + git hooks

Versioning & compatibility promise

Follows Semantic Versioning. The public API = tool names, parameter names/types/defaults, env vars, and the ~/.claude/mantis.json config schema.

IMPORTANT: These changes always require a major version bump:

Tool renamed or removed
Required parameter added to an existing tool
Parameter default changed
Env var renamed or removed (MANTIS_BASE_URL, MANTIS_API_KEY, MANTIS_USE_INDEX_PHP, MANTIS_CACHE_DIR, MANTIS_CACHE_TTL, TRANSPORT, PORT, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, MANTIS_UPLOAD_DIR, MANTIS_SEARCH_ENABLED, MANTIS_SEARCH_THREADS, MANTIS_SEARCH_DIR, MANTIS_SEARCH_MODEL, MANTIS_SEARCH_BACKEND)
Config file key renamed or removed (base_url, api_key)

Minor = new optional parameter or new tool. Patch = bug fix without behavior change.

Deprecation: Mark deprecated in a minor release (README + tool description), remove no earlier than next major.

Release checklist:

All changes since last tag documented in CHANGELOG.md
package.json version bumped
Version type (patch/minor/major) matches the rules above
For major: migration notes in CHANGELOG under ### Breaking Changes

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.
