mcp-docs-server CLAUDE.md

A set of project instructions for developing a Mapbox documentation server. Mapbox is a mapping platform, and an MCP server gives an AI assistant access to tools and reference material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the server’s TypeScript code, documentation resources, tool implementations, configuration, or tests.
Why use it?
It gives contributors shared guidance about the code structure, technology choices, and patterns used in the project.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-docs-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 2d 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.

Key Patterns

Tool Architecture

All tools extend BaseTool<InputSchema, OutputSchema>:

export class MyTool extends BaseTool<
  typeof MyInputSchema,
  typeof MyOutputSchema
> {
  readonly name = 'my_tool';
  readonly description = '...';
  readonly annotations = { title: 'My Tool', readOnlyHint: true, ... };

  constructor({ httpRequest }: { httpRequest: HttpRequest }) {
    super({ inputSchema: MyInputSchema, outputSchema: MyOutputSchema });
    this.httpRequest = httpRequest;
  }

  protected async execute(
    input: z.infer<typeof MyInputSchema>
  ): Promise<CallToolResult> {
    // no accessToken param — docs tools don't need one
  }
}

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-docs-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mapbox/mcp-docs-server (1 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,089 tokens to every session, about $0.0054 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.
