mcp CLAUDE.md

A set of project instructions for coding agents working in the Leadbay/mcp repository. It explains the repository's chat-based rendering approach, supported host widgets, and required structure for tool descriptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or reviewing tools in that repository, especially changes to rendering, widgets, address handling, or tool-description templates.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from restoring discarded iframe interfaces or editing the project without following its established conventions and rendering limits.

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 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 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.

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.

mcp repo — Claude conventions

Project-wide guidance for Claude (and any other agent) working in this repo. Read this before opening files; the rules below are load-bearing.

Rendering surface — chat-native markdown + host-native widgets

The Leadbay MCP server does not ship any custom widgets. We tried the MCP Apps _meta.ui.resourceUri path through 0.10.0-dev.10 — six widget packages, full Vite build pipeline, ext-apps SDK. It failed for two structural reasons:

  1. Iframes don't blend with chat. Chat hosts rendered our widgets as bright sandboxed rectangles in the dark chat thread. MCP Apps's theme variables weren't reliably injected, and even when they were, iframes can't visually flow with markdown bubbles.
  2. They short-circuited host-native rendering. When our widget auto-rendered, the LLM stopped routing to richer first-party widgets (places_map_display_v0, ask_user_input_v0, message_compose_v1) because the job felt done.

So tools render via two surfaces only:

Surface What it covers
Chat-native markdown (default) The canonical RENDERING blocks every tool description carries — markdown tables, cards, chips, headings. Inherits the chat's theme, font, link styling for free. Dark-mode-aware on every host.
Host-native widgets (when the host exposes them) Claude's three first-party widgets — places_map_display_v0 for maps, message_compose_v1 for outreach drafts, ask_user_input_v0 for NEXT STEPS / clarifications. ChatGPT exposes the same routing pattern via _meta.openai/outputTemplate.

Do not re-introduce Tool.ui bindings. The field was removed from the Tool interface in 0.10.0-dev.12. Re-adding it would resurrect the iframe-vs-chat structural problem.

The three host-native widgets

Every tool whose result fits one of these shapes carries a RENDER directive naming the widget. Field maps + constraints live in packages/promptforge/snippets/gates/builtin-widgets.md.

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.

mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository leadbay/mcp (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 5,697 tokens to every session, about $0.0285 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
