council-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

council-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from lbds137/council-mcp-server. It costs 4,960 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a Council MCP server, a service that lets Claude ask other AI models for help through OpenRouter. They describe the project, its features, and tools for code review, brainstorming, testing, and explanations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or maintaining the Council MCP server. They cover asking models questions, reviewing code, generating tests, brainstorming, discovering models, and choosing models per request.
Why use it?
They give Claude the project context and usage guidance it needs when working in this repository. This reduces repeated explanations and helps it use the available model-collaboration tools correctly.

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

council-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 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.

CLAUDE.md - Council MCP Server

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

@~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

Project Overview

Council is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude to collaborate with multiple AI models via OpenRouter. It provides a provider-agnostic way for AI-to-AI collaboration on complex tasks, with access to GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, Qwen and many other models.

Key Features

  • Multi-Model Support: Hundreds of models via OpenRouter, plus GLM on the Z.ai coding plan
  • Dynamic Model Discovery: List and filter available models by provider, capability, or pricing
  • Per-Request Model Override: Use different models for different tasks
  • Multiple Collaboration Tools: Code review, debugging, refactoring, brainstorming, test generation, explanations, multi-turn conversations
  • Response Caching: Tools whose answer depends only on their input opt in (is_cacheable); the key includes the model

Available MCP Tools

Since this MCP server is already running, you can use these tools directly:

Core Tools

  • mcp__council__ask - Ask any model general questions
  • mcp__council__code_review - Get code review
  • mcp__council__brainstorm - Brainstorm ideas with AI
  • mcp__council__test_cases - Generate test cases
  • mcp__council__explain - Get explanations
  • mcp__council__synthesize_perspectives - Combine multiple viewpoints
  • mcp__council__debate - 2-4 models debate a topic (openings, rebuttals, synthesis); calls run in parallel, one per debater per round
  • mcp__council__debug - Diagnose an error
  • mcp__council__refactor - Suggest refactorings

Conversations

  • mcp__council__start_conversation / continue_conversation - Multi-turn conversation with a model
  • mcp__council__get_conversation_history / list_conversations / end_conversation

Model Management

  • mcp__council__server_info - Check server status and current model
  • mcp__council__list_models - List available models with filtering
  • mcp__council__set_model - Change the active model
  • mcp__council__recommend_model - Suggest models for a task

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.
