kernel-mcp-server AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for kernel-mcp-server, including its use of Bun, environment setup, development commands, and code-quality checks. Bun is a JavaScript runtime and package manager.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing dependencies, setting environment variables, starting the development or production server, building the project, and running linting or formatting checks.
Why use it?
They prevent developers from using the wrong package manager and document the steps needed to configure, run, build, format, and check the project.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

kernel-mcp-server AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Project Setup Guide

Package Manager

IMPORTANT: This project uses bun as the package manager. You MUST use bun for all dependency management operations.

  • DO NOT use npm, yarn, or pnpm
  • ALWAYS use bun install to install dependencies
  • ALWAYS use bun add <package> to add new dependencies
  • ALWAYS use bun remove <package> to remove dependencies

The lock file is bun.lock - never commit changes from other package managers.

Installing Dependencies

bun install

Environment Setup

  1. Copy the example environment file:

    cp .env.example .env.local
    
  2. Fill in the required environment variables (values can be found in 1password > DevEnvVars > MCP section)

Development

Start the development server:

bun run dev

The server runs on port 3002 by default.

Build

Build the project for production:

bun run build

Production

Start the production server:

bun run start

Code Quality

Linting

Run ESLint (via Next.js):

bun run lint

Formatting

This project uses Prettier for code formatting.

Check formatting:

bun run format:check

Fix formatting issues:

bun run format

Prettier formats the following file types: *.ts, *.js, *.json, *.md

Running commands

Always use make targets instead of raw bun commands to ensure 1Password (op) injects secrets from the .env file:

  • make dev — start dev server (port 3002)
  • make build — production build
  • make start — start production server
  • make install — install dependencies
  • make lint — run linter

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.
