mcp-compression-proxy: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-compression-proxy CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kdpa-llc/mcp-compression-proxy. It costs 1,109 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for an MCP server that combines tools from several backend servers and shortens their descriptions to use less conversation context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, linting, type-checking, or changing the configuration of this MCP server and its command-line tool.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project-specific commands, file locations, and testing rules needed to avoid stale builds and failed checks.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is kdpa-llc/mcp-compression-proxy's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-compression-proxy 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-compression-proxy 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-compression-proxy 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 6d 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.

Guidance for Claude Code and other coding agents working in this repository.

What this is

An MCP server that aggregates tools from several backend MCP servers behind one connection, and compresses their descriptions to cut context use.

Two binaries ship:

  • mcp-compression-proxy (src/index.ts) — the MCP server itself
  • mcp-cli (src/cli/) — progressive tool discovery backed by a daemon that holds warm connections to the backends

Backend connections live in src/mcp/client-manager.ts; compression state in src/services/; config loading and ${VAR} expansion in src/config/.

Commands

npm run build          # tsc
npm test               # full suite (builds first via pretest)
npm run test:unit      # unit only
npm run test:coverage  # with coverage
npm run lint           # eslint, must be 0 problems
npm run typecheck      # tsc --noEmit
npm run sync-version   # align src/version.ts with package.json

pretest builds before testing on purpose: three integration suites spawn dist/index.js and dist/cli/index.js as real subprocesses, so a stale or missing build fails them with MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

Testing

Location Covers
tests/unit/ modules in isolation, 18 suites
tests/integration/ spawns the built binaries over stdio
tests/e2e/ full workflows against mocked clients
tests/e2e-real/ real Ollama, excluded from the default run

src/index.ts, src/cli/index.ts and src/cli/daemon.ts are excluded from coverage — they need a real process, and are covered by the subprocess suites instead.

Rules learned from real failures here

Do not assert an LLM's exact wording. tests/e2e-real talks to a 1B model; asserting its phrasing contained specific keywords blocked a docs-only PR. Assert the round-trip produced a substantive answer, and log the rest.

Never leave a timer or listener holding the event loop. Housekeeping should never be the reason a process cannot exit — unref() intervals, clear timeouts in a finally, and remove signal listeners on close. The suite runs with no open-handle warning and no --forceExit; keep it that way, because --forceExit would only hide a real production leak.

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.
