CLAUDE.md

pocketsmith-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from joeswann/pocketsmith-mcp. It costs 156 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for developing and using a command-line tool that connects to PocketSmith, a personal-finance service, through its API.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps maintain the PocketSmith CLI, build it, and use its commands or MCP server to interact with PocketSmith data.
Why use it?
It keeps PocketSmith work in one reusable command-line interface instead of requiring separate direct API workarounds.

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

pocketsmith-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 8d 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

pocketsmith-cli

CLI (and MCP server via --mcp) for the PocketSmith personal finance API.

Development

If functionality is missing or a command doesn't cover a use case, fix it here — do not work around it with raw API calls. All PocketSmith interactions should go through this CLI so commands stay complete and reusable.

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.
