mcp-tap: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-tap CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from felipestenzel/mcp-tap. It costs 2,083 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for coding agents working on the mcp-tap project. It defines required checks and steps before, during, and after code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent is changing the mcp-tap codebase and needs to follow its development process.
Why use it?
It gives agents project-specific rules so they are less likely to skip issue tracking, branch creation, memory checks, or tests.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

mcp-tap CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

mcp-tap — Project Rules

The last MCP server you install by hand. Python 3.11+ | FastMCP | Hexagonal Architecture | MIT License


MANDATORY RULES FOR ALL CODE AGENTS

These rules apply to ANY code agent working on this project. No exceptions.

Before Implementing (Pre-flight)

  1. Check existing issues: Read both docs/issues/ (active) and docs/issues/resolved/ (closed) to verify if the problem was already documented
  2. Check MEMORY.md: Read ~/.claude/projects/.../memory/MEMORY.md for context and lessons learned
  3. Check agent memories: Read relevant .claude/agent-memory/<agent>/MEMORY.md for specialized context
  4. Create issue: Create the GitHub issue first to get an ID, then document it in docs/issues/YYYY-MM-DD_<issue-id>_slug.md using docs/issues/_TEMPLATE.md BEFORE starting implementation
  5. Create feature branch: ALWAYS create a branch before starting any work. NEVER commit directly to main.
    • Feature: feature/YYYY-MM-DD-description
    • Fix: fix/YYYY-MM-DD-description
    • Refactor: refactor/YYYY-MM-DD-description
    • Register the branch name in the issue doc (Branch field)
  6. Run baseline tests: pytest tests/ to know the current state before touching code
  7. Use Context7: ALWAYS use MCP Context7 (resolve-library-id + query-docs) to validate best practices and latest versions of libraries before implementing

During Implementation

  1. Follow hexagonal architecture strictly:
    • models.py — Frozen dataclasses, StrEnums (domain layer, ZERO dependencies)
    • errors.py — Exception hierarchy (domain layer, ZERO dependencies)
    • registry/, config/, installer/, connection/ — Adapters (infrastructure layer)
    • tools/ — Use cases / entry points (application layer)
    • server.py — Composition root (wiring only, no business logic)
    • Protocols in base.py files define ports — implementations are adapters
    • Direction of dependency: tools → models/errors ← adapters. Adapters NEVER import tools.

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.
