In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when installing, developing, testing, or extending the Converse MCP server.
Why use it?
They document the project layout, supported conversation modes, required package manager, and common development commands.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is FallDownTheSystem/converse's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on converse 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 converse 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

converse 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 14d 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 Development Guide for Converse MCP Server

This repository contains the Converse MCP Server - a functional Node.js implementation of an MCP server.

Repository Structure

  • src/ - Main source code for the Converse MCP Server
  • docs/ - Complete documentation (API, Architecture, Examples)
  • tests/ - Comprehensive test suite (unit, integration, e2e)
  • scripts/ - Development and build scripts
  • examples/ - Usage examples and sample configurations
  • bin/ - Executable binaries for CLI usage

Converse MCP Server (Node.js)

The Converse MCP Server follows a functional architecture with a single unified chat tool that takes a mode parameter:

  1. chat mode - 1..N models answer independently in parallel
  2. consensus mode - ≥2 models answer in parallel, then refine via cross-feedback
  3. roundtable mode - models answer sequentially, each building on the running transcript

Development Setup

IMPORTANT: This project uses pnpm, not npm.

# Install dependencies (use pnpm, NOT npm)
pnpm install

# Start development server
pnpm run dev

# Run tests
pnpm test

For detailed implementation guidance, see:

  • docs/API.md - Complete API reference
  • docs/ARCHITECTURE.md - System architecture and design principles
  • docs/EXAMPLES.md - Usage examples and patterns

Release & CI Automation

This repo is fully automated for releases via release-please. Do not manually bump versions in package.json, manually run npm publish, or manually edit the top of CHANGELOG.md — the automation owns these.

How releases work

  • Every push to main with a user-facing commit triggers a release. release-please skips pushes whose commits are all hidden types (ci:, chore:, docs:, etc.) with "No user facing commits found — skipping"; force one of these with a Release-As: footer if you need to. Dependabot auto-merges explicitly dispatch the same workflow after merge so dependency bumps still publish a patch release (always-bump-patch strategy). Workflow: .github/workflows/release.yml.
  • The flow in a single workflow run (~50s):
    1. release-please opens (or updates) a "chore(main): release X.Y.Z" PR with version bump + CHANGELOG.md entry.
    2. Workflow auto-merges that PR with gh pr merge --squash.
    3. release-please runs again, sees the just-merged release PR, tags vX.Y.Z, creates a GitHub Release.
    4. Workflow runs pnpm install --frozen-lockfile + lint + typecheck + test:unit, upgrades npm (npm install -g npm@latest), then npm publish --access public.
  • Branch protection on main is off — direct pushes are allowed and intentional, since the automation needs to push the auto-merge commit.
  • Publishing uses npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC) — no NPM_TOKEN secret. The job's id-token: write permission + a trusted publisher configured on npmjs.com (org FallDownTheSystem, repo converse, workflow release.yml) authenticate the publish, and provenance is generated automatically. Trusted Publishing requires npm >= 11.5.1, which is why the workflow upgrades npm before publishing.

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.
