Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is ebullient/obsidian-vault-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on obsidian-vault-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 obsidian-vault-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

obsidian-vault-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 8d 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

Obsidian Vault MCP

Obsidian plugin exposing the vault as an MCP server over HTTP. See README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.

Code style

  • Line length: 80 characters
  • Method chaining: Break at dots, even for single chains
  • Naming: vaultasmcp- prefix for source files
  • UI text: Sentence case; complete sentences ending with a period; semicolons between related clauses; no parenthetical notes.

QA

  • npm run build — lint + build
  • npm run lint — lint only
  • npm run fix — auto-fix lint issues
  • Reference issues by file.ts:123
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.
