In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing this repository, setting up authentication, running its test or lint commands, building its Docker image, or understanding its tool and resource structure.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project context needed to install, run, test, check, format, and release the server consistently.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is hhopke/intervals-icu-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on intervals-icu-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 intervals-icu-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

intervals-icu-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 5d 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.

Project Overview

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Intervals.icu — provides up to 62 tools, 4 resources, and 9 prompts for accessing training data, wellness metrics, and performance analysis through Claude and other LLMs. The default INTERVALS_ICU_DELETE_MODE=safe registers 59 tools; full registers all 62, none registers 56.

  • Language: Python 3.11+
  • Framework: FastMCP
  • API Client: httpx (async)
  • Validation: Pydantic v2
  • Auth: pydantic-settings + .env

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.
