It gives contributors the commands and project rules needed to build, test, check, and run the server across Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is jwalsh/mcp-server-qrcode's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-server-qrcode 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 mcp-server-qrcode configures →

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00600 $0.00600
Opus 5.5 $0.00240 $0.00240

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-server-qrcode 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's Development Notes for MCP QR Code Server

FreeBSD/BSD Compatibility

  • Make: Use gmake on FreeBSD/BSD systems (required - BSD make is incompatible)
  • Grep Issue: FreeBSD grep lacks some GNU features - may need to install GNU grep
  • The Makefile help target fails on FreeBSD due to grep incompatibility
  • If scripts fail, you may need to install GNU versions of utilities:
    • pkg install gnugrep for GNU grep (ggrep)
    • pkg install coreutils for GNU date (gdate) and other core utilities

Development Commands

  • Setup: gmake initialize then gmake setup (FreeBSD) or make initialize then make setup (Linux/macOS)
  • Development: gmake dev (FreeBSD) or make dev (Linux/macOS)
  • Run server: node build/main.js (works everywhere)
  • Build: npm run build (works everywhere)
  • Test all: npm test (works everywhere)
  • Test single file: node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js src/__tests__/file.test.ts
  • Test single case: node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js -t "test description"
  • Lint: npm run lint (works everywhere)
  • Type check: npm run typecheck
  • Format: npm run format
  • CI checks: npm run ci (prefer npm commands on FreeBSD)

Code Style Guidelines

  • TypeScript: Explicit return types required, minimize any usage
  • Formatting: 2 spaces, single quotes, semicolons, 120 chars max line length
  • Naming: camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for types/classes, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants
  • Imports: Group by external → MCP SDK → project → Node.js std lib
  • Error handling: Use explicit error types and descriptive messages
  • Documentation: JSDoc for public APIs, inline comments for complex logic
  • Git commits: Use conventional commit format, ALWAYS add --no-gpg-sign flag

Server Entry Points

  • Production: build/main.js for MCP clients
  • Inspector: make inspector-dev
  • CLI: node build/cli.js for direct features

Documentation Strategy

  • Use org-mode ONLY (.org extension) for ALL documentation
  • Keep README.org high-level, DEVELOPERS.org for setup details
  • Use CONTRIBUTING.org for contribution guidelines

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.
