They give agents the project context and conventions needed to work on the server consistently.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is JoaoCarabetta/basedosdados-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on basedosdados-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 basedosdados-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/joaoc/Documents/projects/basedosdados_mcp/run_server.sh.

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

basedosdados-mcp 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.

Project Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Base dos Dados, Brazil's open data platform. The server provides AI-optimized tools and resources for accessing datasets, tables, columns, and generating SQL queries through the MCP protocol.

Architecture

  • server.py: Main MCP server implementation with enhanced GraphQL client and AI-friendly tools
  • run_server.sh: Wrapper script for reliable Claude Desktop integration
  • pyproject.toml: Project configuration with all dependencies (mcp, httpx, pydantic, google-cloud-bigquery)
  • test_*.py: Comprehensive testing and debugging scripts
  • README.md: Project documentation

Key Components

Enhanced MCP Server (server.py)

  • GraphQL Client: Connects to Base dos Dados API (https://backend.basedosdados.org/graphql)
  • AI-Optimized Tools: Single-call comprehensive data retrieval with BigQuery references
  • Smart Search: Portuguese accent normalization, acronym prioritization, intelligent ranking
  • Enhanced Resources: Context-aware help and guidance for LLM consumption
  • Error Handling: Robust error handling with detailed debugging information

AI-Optimized Tools (4 enhanced tools)

  1. search_datasets: ENHANCED LLM-CENTRIC SEARCH - Complete dataset context in single call
    • Comprehensive Enrichment: Full metadata, table structures, and column samples with types
    • LLM-Optimized Formatting: Rich hierarchies with clear decision-support information
    • Ready-to-Use References: Complete BigQuery paths and API identifiers for immediate access
    • Smart Parallel Fetching: Backend search + GraphQL enrichment for maximum efficiency
    • Error Resilient: Graceful degradation if enrichment fails
    • Portuguese Intelligence: Accent normalization and acronym prioritization
    • Complete Context: Organizations, themes, tags, table previews, column samples
    • Workflow Guidance: Clear next steps and pro tips for efficient exploration

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.
