What is pcp-mcp AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for developing pcp-mcp, an MCP server that exposes Performance Co-Pilot system metrics such as CPU, memory, disk, network, and processes. They describe the project structure, important files, and coding conventions.

Use them when adding MCP tools, changing the HTTP client or configuration, updating models and errors, modifying the command-line interface, or working on server setup.

They help an agent find the right files and follow the project's existing organization when making changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.01278	$0.01278
Opus 5	$0.00639	$0.00639
Sonnet 5	$0.00256	$0.00256
Haiku 4.5	$0.00128	$0.00128

Security

Grade A, and why

pcp-mcp 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 3d 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.

OVERVIEW

MCP server for Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) metrics. Exposes system performance data (CPU, memory, disk, network, processes) via Model Context Protocol tools and resources. Built on FastMCP 3.1+ with httpx async client for pmproxy REST API.

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.
