Custom-MCPs: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Custom-MCPs CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Edison-Watch/Custom-MCPs. It costs 3,076 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for a Python project that exposes one shared service through a command-line tool, an MCP server, and an HTTP API. MCP is a standard way for AI agents to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing or reviewing the Edison-Watch Custom-MCPs repository. It covers required setup, common commands, and the correct design vocabulary for MCP code.
Why use it?
It gives contributors project-specific setup, testing, terminology, and security guidance. It also points to the project's explanations of MCP concepts and interactive interfaces.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is Edison-Watch/Custom-MCPs's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Custom-MCPs 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 Custom-MCPs 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

Custom-MCPs 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 1mo 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.

Project Overview

Super-opinionated Python template that ships one codebase, three interfaces (CLI, MCP server, HTTP API) over a shared service registry. Python >= 3.12 required. Uses uv for dependency management (not pip).

Before any other work in this repo, enable prek: uv tool install prek && prek install. Hooks are defined in prek.toml.

MCP terminology: For nuances around frequently-confused MCP terms (Host vs. Client vs. Server, Tools vs. Resources vs. Prompts, Roots vs. Resources, transports, OAuth pitfalls, etc.), see mcp_server/COMMON_TERMS.md. Consult it before naming or designing new MCP-related code.

MCP Apps: an MCP extension for interactive iframe-sandboxed UIs (HTML resources via ui:// URIs) embedded in chat clients, with bidirectional postMessage / JSON-RPC communication. See ext-apps. Not a generic word for "MCP application".

MCP is an actively-evolving spec. Behaviors change frequently (transports, auth, primitives). Don't rely on training-data assumptions for anything MCP-related - always verify against the current spec via a fresh web search before writing or reviewing MCP code.

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.
