abs-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

abs-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from jeeftor/abs-mcp. It costs 1,164 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of AGENTS.md instructions for building an Audiobookshelf MCP server. It describes the project's goal, preferred tools, coding practices, and how to verify behavior against Audiobookshelf source code and Docker tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while modifying the server, choosing implementation tools, reading API behavior, writing tests, or checking changes with Go and Docker.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents repository-specific context, so their changes follow the project's assumptions and verification process.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is jeeftor/abs-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on abs-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 abs-mcp configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/Shared/Docker/audiobook-organizer.

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

abs-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 1mo 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.

Agent Instructions

Project Goal

Build a high-quality Model Context Protocol server for Audiobookshelf. The server should expose safe, typed MCP tools and resources for inspecting and managing an Audiobookshelf instance, with repeatable tests against a local Docker Audiobookshelf fixture.

Working Assumptions

  • Prefer Go for the first implementation unless a later decision record changes that. This matches the nearby Audiobook Organizer ABS client and the official Go MCP SDK.
  • Treat the public Audiobookshelf API docs as useful but not authoritative. They currently state that they are out of date and no longer maintained.
  • Treat Audiobookshelf source code and verified Docker round-trip tests as the source of truth for behavior.
  • The user cannot configure this corporate Codex instance with MCP servers, so local verification must not depend on registering this server in Codex.

Tooling Preferences

  • Use rg for content searches.
  • Use fd or find for file discovery.
  • Use rtk as the command prefix for shell commands in this workspace.
  • Use uv for Python helper scripts and virtual environments if Python is added.
  • Use go test ./... for Go verification once Go code exists.
  • Use docker compose only through repo scripts or documented make targets so the ABS fixture remains resettable.

Coding Discipline

  • For non-trivial changes, state the working assumption and the smallest verifiable goal before editing.
  • Keep edits surgical and traceable to the current task.
  • Prefer simple, typed request/response structures over generic maps at MCP boundaries.
  • Do not add speculative MCP tools. Add tools only when backed by an ABS endpoint, a fixture scenario, or a documented user workflow.
  • Do not log bearer tokens, API keys, cookies, or raw Authorization headers.
  • Do not persist user credentials in committed files.
  • Do not mutate files in /Users/Shared/Docker/audiobook-organizer unless explicitly asked. That fixture can be read and invoked as an external dependency while planning.

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.
