In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, or maintaining the Stays hotel-search library and its MCP server.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project context and the correct places to make changes or run checks.

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

stays 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.

Project Overview

stays is a Python library and MCP server that provides programmatic access to Google Hotels through direct API interaction (reverse engineering). The project consists of:

  • MCP server (stays/mcp/) — FastMCP-based stdio + streamable-HTTP server exposing three tools. Layered into server.py (registration only — @mcp.tool/@mcp.prompt/@mcp.resource + re-exports), _config.py (HotelSearchConfig, CONFIG, CONFIG_SCHEMA, HARD_MAX_HOTELS_WITH_DETAILS = 15), _params.py (pydantic *Params classes + shared _validate_child_ages), and _executors.py (_execute_*_from_params + MCP-subset _serialize_hotel_* wrappers).
  • Search engine (stays/search/) — hotel search, detail, and parallel enrichment
  • Core client (stays/search/client.py) — rate-limited curl_cffi session with Chrome TLS impersonation
  • Data models (stays/models/google_hotels/) — pydantic filter/result/detail models
  • Parse layer (stays/search/parse/) — response parsing split across search_parser/detail_parser/policy_parser/provider_parser/slots.py. slots.py owns named slot-index constants + safe_get(tree, *path, default).
  • Canonical serializers (stays/serialize.py) — single source of truth for hotel → dict serialization consumed by both the CLI and MCP (the CLI-local stays/cli/_serialize.py is a re-export shim).
  • CLI runtime helpers (stays/cli/_runtime.py) — shared emit_result / emit_error / build_filters_from_cli_args plumbing used by search / details / enrich subcommands.
  • MCP setup backends (stays/mcp/setup/_backend.py + _adapters.py) — SetupBackend Protocol + SetupReport dataclass + BACKENDS registry; the legacy stays.mcp.setup.{claude,codex,chatgpt}.register(...) / .build() entry points are preserved on top.

The implementation leans heavily on reverse-engineering captures under docs/reverse-engineering/ — slot maps and filter coverage notes are the authoritative reference for the wire format.

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.
