What is gitopia-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for Gitopia’s MCP server. Gitopia combines code hosting with blockchain bounties and DAO governance, while MCP is the protocol used to expose the server’s tools, prompts, and resources to an AI client.

Use them when working on Gitopia handlers, Git and blockchain clients, wallet signing, configuration, workspace paths, builds, tests, and security-sensitive changes.

They give developers a shared description of the server’s architecture, build commands, configuration, and security boundaries. This reduces guesswork when modifying or checking the project.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00921	$0.00921
Opus 5.5	$0.00368	$0.00368
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00184	$0.00184
Haiku 4.5	$0.00092	$0.00092

Security

Grade A, and why

gitopia-mcp-server 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 2mo 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.

Gitopia MCP Server

Decentralized Git + blockchain bounties + DAO governance via the Model Context Protocol.

57 tools, 3 prompts, 4 resource templates.

Architecture

3-layer design: MCP client -> handler (internal/handler/) -> registration (cmd/server/main.go).

Key packages:

cmd/server/ — entry point, server initialization
internal/handler/register.go — tool/prompt/resource registration
internal/handler/ — tool handler implementations (params structs + handler methods on ToolHandler). Includes tag_handlers.go, commit_handlers.go, release_handlers.go, label_handlers.go for tags/commits/releases/labels
internal/gitopia/ — gRPC client for Gitopia chain queries and tx signing
internal/signing/ — wallet management, transaction signing, fee grants
internal/config/ — configuration loading (file + env var overlay)
internal/git/ — local git operations
internal/workspace/ — sandboxed workspace path resolution

Build & Test

go build ./cmd/server        # compile server binary
go test ./...                 # run all tests
go vet ./...                  # static analysis
go test -cover ./internal/handler/...  # handler coverage

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.
