mcp-alertmanager: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp-alertmanager AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from labjp-mcp/mcp-alertmanager. It costs 839 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for coding agents working on mcp-alertmanager, a Go server that connects AI assistants to Prometheus Alertmanager. Alertmanager manages monitoring alerts, silences, and incident-response actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Developing features, adding MCP tools, understanding the Go project structure, and building mcp-alertmanager.
Why use it?
It gives agents the repository layout and rules they need before changing the server or adding tools.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is labjp-mcp/mcp-alertmanager's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-alertmanager 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-alertmanager 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-alertmanager AGENTS.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.

Project Agents.md for Alertmanager MCP Server

This Agents.md file provides comprehensive guidance for AI assistants and coding agents (like Gemini, Cursor, and others) to work with this codebase.

This repository contains the mcp-alertmanager project, a Go-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Prometheus Alertmanager integration. This MCP server enables AI assistants to manage alerts, silences, and perform incident response using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Project Structure and Repository Layout

  • Go package layout follows standard Go conventions:
    • cmd/mcp-alertmanager/ - main application entry point.
    • pkg/ - libraries grouped by domain.
      • alertmanager/ - Alertmanager client and API interaction.
      • kubernetes/ - Kubernetes client management and auto-discovery.
      • mcputil/ - MCP utility functions and helpers.
      • toolsets/ - Toolset registration and management for MCP tools.
      • version/ - Version information management.
  • .github/ - GitHub-related configuration (Actions workflows, Dependabot).
  • build/ - Build configuration files (included via Makefile).
  • npm/ - Node packages that wrap the compiled binaries for distribution through npmjs.com.
  • Containerfile - Container image description file.
  • Makefile - Tasks for building, formatting, and testing.

Feature Development

Implement new functionality in the Go sources under cmd/ and pkg/. The JavaScript (npm/) directory only wraps the compiled binary for distribution (npm). Most changes will not require touching it unless the version or packaging needs to be updated.

Adding New MCP Tools

The project uses a toolset-based architecture for organizing MCP tools:

  • Tool definitions and handlers are created in pkg/toolsets/.
  • Toolsets group related tools together (e.g., alert tools, silence tools, status tools).
  • Each tool has a handler function that implements the tool's logic.

When adding a new tool:

  1. Define the tool handler function that implements the tool's logic.
  2. Register the tool in the appropriate toolset in pkg/toolsets/.
  3. If creating a new toolset, register it with the MCP server.

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.
