yggdrasil-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

yggdrasil-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from henrychong-ai/yggdrasil-mcp. It costs 5,952 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for Yggdrasil-MCP, a reasoning server that uses several agents to evaluate possible lines of thought. It documents the project, its TypeScript stack, development commands, and tools for planning and sequential thinking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding work on Yggdrasil-MCP, including sequential thinking, deep planning, listing or retrieving plans, and changing their status.
Why use it?
It gives Claude Code project-specific rules and reference information, so contributors do not have to infer how the repository is organised or developed.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is henrychong-ai/yggdrasil-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on yggdrasil-mcp 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 yggdrasil-mcp configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships 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

yggdrasil-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
