In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing ras-commander-mcp, especially for running its Python tests, checking HEC-RAS test data, and validating server changes.
Why use it?

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

ras-commander-mcp 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 9d 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.

Commands

Build & Development

  • Install dependencies: uv pip install fastmcp ras-commander pandas or uv sync
  • Run MCP server: uv run python server.py
  • Alternative for testing: uvx --from . ras-commander-mcp

Testing & Validation

  • Comprehensive testing: uv run python tests/test_all_tools.py - Tests all MCP tools on both Muncie and BeaverLake projects
  • Single tool testing: uv run python tests/test_single_tool.py - Modify the script to test specific tools quickly
  • Direct server testing: uv run python tests/test_server.py - Basic functionality validation
  • Test data locations: testdata/Muncie/ and testdata/BeaverLake/ contain complete HEC-RAS projects
  • Test outputs: Check tests/outputs/ for markdown reports of tool functionality
  • Integration testing: Configure in Claude Desktop and test with actual HEC-RAS queries

Required Post-Update Testing

After making changes to the MCP server, run these tests in order:

  1. uv run python tests/test_server.py - Verify basic server functionality
  2. uv run python tests/test_all_tools.py - Comprehensive tool validation
  3. Review output files in tests/outputs/ directory
  4. Test Claude Desktop integration with sample queries

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.
