In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to run the CLI, manage MCP servers, choose a custom configuration file, and run unit, integration, watch, or coverage tests.
Why use it?
They document the supported platforms, local commands, configuration options, and test layout needed to work on the tool safely.

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 jandroav/claude-mcp-switch's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-mcp-switch 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 claude-mcp-switch 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 B, and why

claude-mcp-switch CLAUDE.md scanned grade B 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 7d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

claude-mcp-switch is a zero-dependency Node.js CLI tool for managing Claude Code MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. It wraps the claude CLI commands to provide enable/disable functionality while preserving server configurations. Works across macOS, Linux, and Windows platforms.

Development Commands

Running the CLI Locally

# List MCP servers
node ./src/ccmcp.js list

# Enable a server
node ./src/ccmcp.js enable <identifier>

# Disable a server (dry-run)
node ./src/ccmcp.js disable <identifier> --dry-run

# Use custom config path
node ./src/ccmcp.js list --config ~/.claude/settings.json

Testing

The project uses Node.js built-in test runner (Node 18+):

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run unit tests only
npm run test:unit

# Run integration tests only
npm run test:integration

# Watch mode (re-run on file changes)
npm run test:watch

# Coverage report
npm run test:coverage
Test Structure
  • test/unit/ - Unit tests for individual modules
    • utils.test.js - Utility functions (expandHome, truncate, safeStr, etc.)
    • config.test.js - Config resolution, file I/O, backup/atomic writes
    • schema.test.js - Schema detection, server enumeration, enable/disable logic
    • matcher.test.js - Identifier matching, Levenshtein distance, suggestions
    • ui.test.js - Color utilities
  • test/integration/ - End-to-end CLI tests
    • cli.test.js - Full command execution with temp configs
  • test/fixtures/ - Sample config files for testing
Running Individual Tests
# Run specific test file
node --test test/unit/utils.test.js

# Run specific test suite
node --test test/unit/config.test.js

# Run all tests in a directory (cross-platform)
node --test "test/unit/**/*.test.js"

Publishing

The project uses a GitHub Actions workflow for versioning and publishing:

# Trigger via GitHub UI: Actions > Version and Release > Run workflow
# Choose release type: patch, minor, or major

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.
