instantcms-mcp AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for InstantCMS MCP, a server that gives agents tools for working with the InstantCMS content-management system. It describes required checks and project-specific rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying InstantCMS generators, validation, controllers, templates, language files, knowledge data, or TypeScript code.
Why use it?
It helps prevent invalid generated add-ons, unsafe data handling, broken tool documentation, and violations of the project’s architecture.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

instantcms-mcp AGENTS.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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Instructions for coding agents

This repository implements an MCP server for InstantCMS 2. Read ARCHITECTURE.md before changing generators, validation, or knowledge data.

Required checks

  • Run npm run check after TypeScript changes.
  • Generated addon output must pass validateAddon with no errors.
  • Never interpolate user text into XML, INI, PHP, or YAML without the serializer in src/utils/serialization.ts.
  • Keep README tool lists and get_server_capabilities synchronized with registered tools.
  • Treat src/data as compatibility data. New source-backed knowledge belongs in knowledge/ and should include provenance.

InstantCMS invariants

  • Controller actions are separate files under actions/.
  • Backend grids are functions, not cmsGrid classes.
  • Language files live outside the controller directory.
  • Backend content templates belong below the active frontend theme's controller directory; admincoreui provides the backend layout shell.

Project skills are under skills/. Load only the skill relevant to the requested workflow.

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.
