hw-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

hw-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Hertwill/hw-mcp. It costs 6,105 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for Hertwill MCP, a server that lets AI agents search products and manage imports for a dropshipping business.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides development of the TypeScript MCP server, its Hertwill product-sourcing features, Shopify and WooCommerce syncing, npm distribution, and local standard-input/output transport.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project's goals, technical choices, authentication method, and limits so changes fit the existing system.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; built for cline.

This is Hertwill/hw-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hw-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 hw-mcp 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

hw-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 8d 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.

Project

Hertwill MCP

A public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the Hertwill dropshipping API, plus a bundled Claude Skill encoding the Hertwill sourcing playbook. It lets any MCP-capable AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Windsurf, Zed, VS Code + Copilot, Goose, OpenCode, Replit) discover Hertwill products, manage an import list, and trigger syncs to Shopify/WooCommerce — turning product sourcing for dropshippers from a multi-step manual workflow into a conversational one.

Core Value: Make sourcing Hertwill products as simple as a single natural-language request from any AI agent. Every scope decision should reduce the friction between "I need winning EU-shippable products under €30" and "they're in my Shopify import list."

Constraints

  • Tech stack: TypeScript + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (official TS SDK) — biggest community, smallest install footprint, fastest ecosystem updates
  • Transport: stdio only for v1 — zero infra cost, no uptime burden on Hertwill
  • Distribution: npm (public) + GitHub (public repo) — required for directory listings
  • Auth model: env var (HERTWILL_API_KEY) for authenticated endpoints — matches stdio convention, no OAuth infra required
  • Rate limits: 60 req/min public, 300 req/min authenticated — client must throttle and return structured errors when limits hit
  • API compatibility: must stay in sync with Hertwill API changes — versioning strategy needed so the MCP can deprecate tools gracefully
  • Security: never log or persist API keys; never ship a default key in the package

Technology Stack

Executive Recommendation

  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@^1.29 with the high-level McpServer + registerTool API over StdioServerTransport
  • zod@^4.3 for tool input schemas, leveraging the SDK's built-in Zod-v4 → JSON Schema bridge (no zod-to-json-schema needed)
  • Native fetch (Node 20+ built-in, undici under the hood) wrapped in a thin client — no axios, no ky, no ofetch
  • openapi-typescript@^7.13 to generate types from Hertwill's OpenAPI 3.1 spec, consumed via openapi-fetch@^0.17 for a 6 KB fully-typed client
  • bottleneck@^2.19 for rate limiting (60/min public, 300/min authenticated) + p-retry@^6.2 for exponential backoff
  • pino@^10.3 piped to pino.destination(2) (stderr) — stdout is reserved for JSON-RPC
  • tsup@^8.5 for ESM-only build with shebang-injected bin entry
  • vitest@^4.1 for unit/integration tests, @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@^0.21 for interactive debugging
  • Claude Skill bundled as skills/hertwill-sourcing/SKILL.md in the same repo, distributed via the same npm package plus a separate "plugin" artifact for Claude Code users

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.
