What is outsource-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for developing an MCP server in Python, a service that lets AI clients use tools or data. They specify conventions for packages, tool descriptions, transport, errors, and installation.

Use them while building or maintaining the `outsource_mcp` server, especially when choosing FastMCP, stdio transport, descriptive errors, and `uvx` installation.

They keep the server compatible, understandable to AI clients, and easier to install and diagnose.

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	$0.00170	$0.00170
Opus 5.5	$0.00068	$0.00068
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00034	$0.00034
Haiku 4.5	$0.00017	$0.00017

Security

Grade A, and why

outsource-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 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.

Reminders

Package Naming: Use underscores not hyphens (outsource_mcp not outsource-mcp)
Tool Descriptions: Write tool docstrings for AI audience, not human developers
Transport: Default to stdio transport unless you specifically need HTTP
Error Messages: Return descriptive errors that help the AI understand what went wrong
FastMCP: Use FastMCP framework for simpler server setup
Installation: Support uvx installation pattern for easy distribution

Changes

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.
