mcp-mercury: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-mercury CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from jbctechsolutions/mcp-mercury. It costs 216 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for a read-only Mercury business-banking MCP server. It defines rules for secure token handling, allowed statement downloads, validation, testing, and builds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, or reviewing the mcp-mercury server and its account, transaction, and statement tools.
Why use it?
It helps developers maintain banking access without adding payment or other write operations. The rules also reduce the risk of exposing credentials in code, logs, or errors.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

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

mcp-mercury 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 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.

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

mcp-mercury

Read-only MCP server for Mercury business banking. Modeled on the conventions of mcp-office365 (same org): strict TS, ESM, zod-validated tool inputs, hand-written JSON schemas in the tool list, vitest.

Hard rules

  • Read-only forever. No payment, recipient, or write endpoints — if a task asks for one, stop and confirm with Joel first.
  • The API token never appears in code, logs, errors, fixtures, or tests. It is resolved at runtime from 1Password (Mercury API - read only, account jbctechsolutions.1password.com) or MERCURY_API_TOKEN (tests only).
  • Statement downloads only from *.mercury.com over HTTPS (token-leak guard).
  • gitleaks pre-commit runs here; never bypass with --no-verify.

Commands

  • npm test / npm run typecheck / npm run build
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.
