Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00583 | $0.00583 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00292 | $0.00292 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00117 | $0.00117 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00058 | $0.00058 |
Grade A, and why
ember-mcp copilot-instructions.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 3d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

About This Repository
This repository builds ember-mcp, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides comprehensive access to Ember.js documentation, API references, guides, and community best practices.
Using the ember-mcp MCP Server
IMPORTANT: When working on Ember.js projects or providing Ember.js guidance, you should use the ember-mcp MCP server built by this repository. It provides 7 specialized tools for accessing Ember documentation and best practices.
How to Configure ember-mcp
For local development in this repository:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ember-docs": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/ember-mcp/index.js"]
}
}
}
For production use:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ember": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ember-mcp"]
}
}
}
When to Use the MCP Tools
- Use
search_ember_docsfor general Ember.js queries - Use
get_api_referencefor specific API documentation - Use
get_best_practiceswhen providing implementation advice (ALWAYS) - Use
detect_package_managerBEFORE suggesting package installation commands - See README.md for complete tool documentation
Working with This Codebase
Code Style
- Modern ES modules (ESM) - use
import/export - Use descriptive variable names
- Minimal comments - code should be self-documenting
- Follow existing patterns in the codebase
Architecture
- index.js: Main MCP server with tool handlers
- lib/documentation-service.js: Documentation parsing and search
- lib/npm-service.js: npm registry integration
- lib/package-manager-detector.js: Package manager detection
- lib/formatters.js: Output formatting
Development Workflow
- This project uses pnpm as its package manager
- Development mode:
pnpm dev(auto-restart on changes) - Run tests:
pnpm test - Watch mode:
pnpm test:watch
Adding New Tools
- Define tool schema in
setupHandlers()in index.js - Add handler method (e.g.,
handleNewTool()) - Add to switch statement in request handler
- Update README.md documentation
- Add tests in
test/directory
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.

ember-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ember-tooling/ember-mcp (27 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 583 tokens to every session, about $0.0029 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
