sigrok-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

sigrok-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from KenosInc/sigrok-mcp-server. It costs 1,005 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a Go server that connects language models to sigrok-cli, a command-line tool for reading and decoding electrical signals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on code that controls logic analyzers, decodes communication protocols, or analyzes recorded signals through sigrok.
Why use it?
They give coding agents consistent rules for documentation, builds, tests, linting, errors, and Go style when changing the project.

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

sigrok-mcp-server 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 9d 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

sigrok-mcp-server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that wraps sigrok-cli, exposing sigrok's signal analysis capabilities to LLMs. It translates MCP tool calls into sigrok-cli invocations and returns structured results, enabling LLMs to control logic analyzers, decode protocols, and analyze signals.

Written in Go. Licensed under MIT (Kenos, Inc.).

Language & Build

  • Language: Go
  • Module: github.com/KenosInc/sigrok-mcp-server
  • Build: go build ./...
  • Run tests: go test ./...
  • Run single test: go test ./... -run TestName
  • Lint: go vet ./...
  • Tidy dependencies: go mod tidy

Code Style

  • Follow standard Go conventions (gofmt, go vet)
  • Use table-driven tests with t.Run() subtests
  • Error handling: return errors, don't panic; wrap with fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)
  • Naming: follow Go conventions — exported names in PascalCase, unexported in camelCase
  • Keep packages small and focused; avoid circular dependencies

Architecture

  • MCP Server (Go): Implements the MCP protocol, receives tool calls from LLMs, and delegates to sigrok-cli.
  • sigrok-cli wrapper: Constructs and executes sigrok-cli commands, parses output, and returns structured responses. sigrok-cli is the sole interface to sigrok — no C bindings or libsigrok dependency.
  • Docker container: The MCP server runs inside a Docker container with sigrok-cli pre-installed.
  • Transport: MCP communication uses stdio (stdin/stdout JSON-RPC).

Package Structure

  • cmd/sigrok-mcp-server/ — Entrypoint (main.go): wires config, executor, handlers, starts stdio server
  • internal/config/ — Env-based configuration (SIGROK_CLI_PATH, SIGROK_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, SIGROK_WORKING_DIR)
  • internal/sigrok/ — CLI executor (Executor) and output parsers; testdata/ contains golden output files
  • internal/serial/ — Serial port querier for direct instrument communication (independent of sigrok-cli)
  • internal/devices/ — Device profile registry with embedded JSON profiles; supports lookup by name, model, or *IDN? response
  • internal/tools/ — MCP tool definitions (tools.go) and handler implementations (handlers.go)

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.
