Why use it?
They explain the source layout, commands, coding style, and testing process, reducing mistakes when changing the server.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is freema/mcp-jira-stdio's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-jira-stdio 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-jira-stdio 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-jira-stdio AGENTS.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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Modules

  • src/: TypeScript source.
    • index.ts: MCP server entry.
    • config/, tools/, types/, utils/: Configuration, MCP tools, shared types, helpers.
  • tests/: Vitest tests (unit/, optional integration/), plus mocks/ and fixtures/.
  • scripts/: Utility scripts (e.g., test-connection.cjs).
  • dist/: Build output (ESM). Do not edit.

Build, Test, and Development

  • npm run dev: Start in watch mode (tsx).
  • npm run build: Bundle with tsup to dist/.
  • npm start: Run built server.
  • npm run typecheck: TypeScript checks only.
  • npm run lint | lint:fix: ESLint (TypeScript + Prettier plugin).
  • npm run format | format:check: Prettier write/check.
  • npm test: Run Vitest. test:coverage for coverage, test:watch for watch.
  • npm run inspector | inspector:dev: Launch MCP Inspector (prod/dev).
  • Example: node scripts/test-connection.cjs verifies Jira credentials. Note: Node.js >= 18 required. task aliases exist in Taskfile.yaml if you prefer Task.

Coding Style & Naming

  • Language: TypeScript (ESM). Formatting via Prettier (2‑space indent). Lint via ESLint.
  • Types/interfaces: PascalCase (IssueType). Vars/functions: camelCase. Files: kebab-case in src/ (e.g., get-visible-projects.ts).
  • Unused params: prefix with _ to satisfy @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars rule.
  • Console usage is allowed; keep logs purposeful and minimal.

Adding a Tool

  • Create src/tools/<name>.ts with a Tool export and handle<Name>.
  • Validate input in src/types/tools.ts via Zod and call validateInput(...) in the handler.
  • Export the tool from src/tools/index.ts and use TOOL_NAMES for consistent names.
  • Handlers are wired in src/index.ts using a TOOL_NAMES → handler map; the tool list is built from exports.
  • Return user-facing text via src/utils/formatters.ts and route errors through handleError.

Testing Guidelines

  • Framework: Vitest with V8 coverage. Thresholds: 80% (branches, functions, lines, statements).
  • Location: add tests under tests/unit/** (and tests/integration/** if needed).
  • Naming: *.test.ts. Use tests/mocks/ and tests/fixtures/ helpers; global setup in tests/setup.ts.
  • Run locally: npm test or npm run test:coverage before submitting.

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.
