Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is dreamiurg/datadog-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on datadog-mcp 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 datadog-mcp 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

datadog-mcp 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 9d 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 it actually says

Agent Instructions

Project

TypeScript MCP server for Datadog API. Node.js >= 20, CommonJS output.

Stack

  • Language: TypeScript (strict mode)
  • Build: tsc (CommonJS output to dist/)
  • Linter/Formatter: Biome (npx biome check src)
  • Tests: Vitest with V8 coverage (90% uniform thresholds)
  • Complexity: lizard (-l typescript -C 15 -L 60 -a 5)
  • Git hooks: pre-commit framework (not Husky)

Commands

Task Command
Build npm run build
Lint npm run lint
Lint + fix npm run lint:fix
Typecheck npm run typecheck
Test npm test
Test + coverage npm run test:coverage
Complexity npm run complexity
Full CI locally npm run ci

Releases

NEVER create GitHub releases or tags manually. All releases go through Release Please:

  1. Use conventional commits (feat:, fix:, chore:, etc.)
  2. Release Please automatically creates/updates a release PR on each push to main
  3. A human merges the release PR to cut the release
  4. Release Please creates the GitHub release and tag automatically

When asked to "create a release", the correct action is to merge the pending Release Please PR (if one exists) or explain that new conventional commits need to be pushed to main first.

GitHub

  • Repo: dreamiurg/datadog-mcp (standalone, not a fork)
  • Merge strategy: Squash-only
  • Branch protection: Sentinel job (Required Checks) via ruleset
  • CI: lint, typecheck, test (Node 20/22/23), complexity, build
  • PRs: Always use --repo dreamiurg/datadog-mcp with gh CLI

Code Style

  • Biome handles formatting and linting - no manual style rules needed
  • Max cognitive complexity: 15 (enforced by Biome + lizard)
  • Max function length: 60 lines (enforced by lizard)
  • Max parameters: 5 (enforced by lizard)
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.
