fold CLAUDE.md

fold CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from fold-run/fold. It costs 2,330 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Fold, a Go gateway that combines multiple MCP tool servers behind one governed endpoint. MCP is a standard way for applications and coding agents to connect to tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building, testing, linting, benchmarking, and checking Fold, while keeping its MCP protocol implementation aligned with the official Go SDK.
Why use it?
They give contributors the correct development and testing commands and describe the gateway's rules for authentication, policies, caching, limits, and auditing.

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.

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

fold 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 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this is

This repo is fold, the enterprise MCP gateway — one governed endpoint federating any number of upstream MCP servers into a single virtual server, adding auth, policy, caching, rate limiting, and audit. Single Go module; the Makefile is a thin wrapper over the Go toolchain and is the source of truth for dev/CI commands. The wire protocol (streamable HTTP, request/response and SSE) is the official MCP Go SDK's implementation on both the client-facing and upstream-facing sides — fold never hand-rolls protocol framing.

Commands

make build
make test                                    # unit + integration (real SDK client/server fixtures)
make race                                    # what CI runs
make lint                                    # golangci-lint (config in .golangci.yml)
make check                                   # fmt-check + tidy-check + vet + build + race + lint

go test ./gateway -run TestName -v           # one test
make bench                                   # latency gate (FOLD_BENCH=1; skipped without it)
make conformance                             # official MCP conformance suite through the gateway (needs node/npx)

# Federation cost — the list path, whose work scales with federation size and
# which the latency gate's 1-upstream fixture does not exercise:
go test ./gateway -run '^$' -bench BenchmarkFederatedListTools -benchmem
FOLD_LOAD_UPSTREAMS=20 FOLD_LOAD_TOOLS=50 make loadtest

# Tenant resolution cost, whose work scales with the number of tenant
# declarations rather than with the federation:
go test ./gateway -run '^$' -bench BenchmarkResolveTenant -benchmem

CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) gates every merge on: gofmt, go mod tidy -diff, vet, build, go test -race, golangci-lint, govulncheck, the added-latency benchmark (added p50 < 5 ms through the proxy path), and the conformance suite (40/40 checks, pinned to a commit in scripts/conformance.sh — bump deliberately).

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.
