What is pocketsmith-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for a TypeScript template used to build MCP servers and clients. MCP is a standard way for AI applications to connect to tools and data.

Use them when developing this MCP project, including its standard-input or HTTP server modes, authentication, error handling, DuckDB, and OpenRouter integrations.

They give contributors the commands and project context needed to build, run, format, and document the repository consistently.

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	$0.03269	$0.03269
Opus 5.5	$0.01308	$0.01308
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00654	$0.00654

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 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.

Project Overview

This is a production-ready TypeScript template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients following the MCP 2025-03-26 specification. It provides a comprehensive foundation with built-in utilities, authentication, error handling, and service integrations.

Key Stats:

57 TypeScript source files
32 directories in src/
Supports both stdio and HTTP (SSE) transports
Built-in authentication (JWT/OAuth)
Comprehensive error handling and logging
Ready-to-use DuckDB and OpenRouter integrations

Development Commands

Build & Run

npm run build - Build TypeScript and make executable
npm run rebuild - Clean build (removes node_modules, logs, dist)
npm start - Run the built server (stdio transport)
npm run start:stdio - Run server with stdio transport and debug logging
npm run start:http - Run server with HTTP transport and debug logging

Development Tools

npm run format - Format code with Prettier
npm run docs:generate - Generate TypeDoc documentation
npm run tree - Generate project structure tree
npm run inspector - Launch MCP inspector for debugging
npm run depcheck - Check for unused dependencies
npm run fetch-spec - Fetch OpenAPI specification
npm run db:duckdb-example - Run DuckDB example with debug logging

Testing & Quality

Important: No specific test framework is configured. Before adding tests:

Check README or search codebase for testing approach
Ask user for preferred test framework if not found
Always run linting after code changes

Project Architecture

Core Components

Entry Point (src/index.ts):
