What is agent-comm-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

A project guide for an MCP server that lets AI agents communicate, delegate tasks, and track work. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to connect to external services and capabilities.

Use it when developing or reviewing the standalone TypeScript agent-communication server, including its task delegation, progress tracking, diagnostics, and Node.js package structure.

It explains the package’s architecture and design rules before an agent changes it. This helps preserve details such as simultaneous work and hiding file paths behind context IDs.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.07445	$0.07445
Opus 5.5	$0.02978	$0.02978
Sonnet 5.5	$0.01489	$0.01489

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-comm-mcp-server 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.

CLAUDE.md - Agent Communication MCP Server

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with the agent-comm-mcp-server NPM package.

Project Overview

Name: @jerfowler/agent-comm-mcp-server
Purpose: MCP server for AI agent task communication and delegation with diagnostic lifecycle visibility
Author: Jeremy Fowler
License: MIT

This is a standalone TypeScript NPM package that implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enabling Claude Code to coordinate multiple specialized agents, track their progress in real-time, and understand exactly how they approach and solve complex tasks.

Repository Context

Standalone NPM Package: This is NOT part of a parent project - it's an independent package
GitHub: https://github.com/jerfowler/agent-comm-mcp-server
NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jerfowler/agent-comm-mcp-server
Node.js: >= 18.0.0 required

Architecture

Core Design Principles

Zero File Path Exposure: Agents never see file paths, only clean context IDs
Non-Blocking Operations: All agents can work simultaneously
Context-Based Abstraction: Clean task descriptions automatically generated
Diagnostic Visibility: Monitor without controlling execution flow

Component Hierarchy

MCP SDK Layer (JSON-RPC communication)
    ↓
Tool Layer (17 specialized MCP tools)
    ↓
Core Layer (TaskContextManager, ConnectionManager, EventLogger)
    ↓
Utility Layer (FileSystem, LockManager, TaskManager, validation)
    ↓
Storage Layer (File system with locking coordination)

Task Lifecycle

INIT → PLAN → PROGRESS → DONE/ERROR

Context-based workflow with diagnostic visibility

Comprehensive TypeScript Strict Mode Enforcement System

This project implements a multi-layered enforcement system to permanently eliminate TypeScript strict mode violations, 'any' types, and direct fs-extra imports. This system prevents the "never ending cycle of fix, break, repeat" through comprehensive validation at multiple checkpoints.

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.
