porkbun-mcp: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

porkbun-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from major/porkbun-mcp. It costs 824 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Code-review instructions for porkbun-mcp, a server that connects AI workflows to Porkbun’s DNS service. DNS is the system that maps domain names to internet services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when reviewing or changing the Python server, its DNS operations, response schemas, tests, or configuration.
Why use it?
They focus reviews on how code could fail in production, become hard to maintain, or create security problems.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is major/porkbun-mcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on porkbun-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 porkbun-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

porkbun-mcp copilot-instructions.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.

GitHub Copilot Code Review Instructions

Review Philosophy: Invert, Always Invert

Apply Charlie Munger's inversion principle: Instead of asking "Is this code good?", ask "What would make this code fail?"

Focus on preventing failure rather than achieving brilliance:

  • What edge cases would break this?
  • What would cause this to fail in production?
  • What would make this unmaintainable in 6 months?
  • What security holes does this open?

When something could fail, explain HOW it would fail and suggest the prevention.


Project Context: porkbun-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Porkbun DNS API. Python 3.14+, FastMCP 2.14+.

Tech Stack

  • MCP Framework: FastMCP 2.14+
  • DNS Client: oinker (async-first)
  • Type checking: ty
  • Linting/Formatting: ruff
  • Testing: pytest + pytest-asyncio
  • Package manager: uv

Key Design Decisions

  • MCP Resources for read-only data browsing
  • Unified tools (one dns_create with record_type param)
  • Strict output schemas via Pydantic response models

Inversion Checklists by File Type

Source Code (src/porkbun_mcp/**/*.py)

MCP server failures to prevent:

  • Tools not returning proper Pydantic response models
  • Not handling oinker exceptions (must convert to ToolError)
  • Blocking calls in async tool functions
  • Missing type hints or docstrings

FastMCP patterns to enforce:

  • Tools use @mcp.tool() decorator with proper type hints
  • Resources use @mcp.resource() decorator
  • Context accessed via ctx.request_context.lifespan_context
  • Errors raised as ToolError or ResourceError

Tools (src/porkbun_mcp/tools/**/*.py)

What would cause tools to fail?

  • Not using oinker's create_record() factory for DNS creation
  • Exceptions not mapped to ToolError via handle_oinker_error()
  • Missing Annotated[type, Field(...)] for parameter descriptions
  • Return type not matching declared Pydantic model

Resources (src/porkbun_mcp/resources/**/*.py)

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.
