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

This is krumme/mela-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mela-mcp 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 mela-mcp 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

mela-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 7d 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.

What it actually says

mela-mcp

An unofficial, read-only MCP server that exposes recipes from the Mela macOS app (search_recipes, get_recipe, list_tags) to MCP-compatible assistants.

Conventions

  • All SQL and schema knowledge lives in mela_mcp/db.py; mela_mcp/server.py only wraps those helpers as MCP tools — don't put SQL in server.py.
  • Read-only forever — never add write queries against Curcuma.sqlite; future writes must go through Mela's own import surface (mela:// URLs, .melarecipe files, or Shortcuts/App Intents), never direct DB writes (it's a CloudKit-synced Core Data store).
  • Requires mcp>=2.0 (MCPServer); the older FastMCP API is gone.
  • Run tests with python -m pytest. The live test (tests/test_live.py) needs Mela installed and skips otherwise.
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.
