vector-mcp AGENTS.md

Project instructions for a Python Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects an agent to vector databases. A vector database stores searchable numerical representations of text or other data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the server, agent, modular skills, vector-database backends, retrievers, migrations, or tests.
Why use it?
They explain the server's components, supported architecture, coding conventions, and exact commands for running and testing it.

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

vector-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 308 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Claude Code loads this file via CLAUDE.md (@AGENTS.md import) — the two stay in sync. Edit this file, not CLAUDE.md.

Tech Stack & Architecture

  • Language/Version: Python 3.10+
  • Core Libraries: agent-utilities, fastmcp, pydantic-ai

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.

vector-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository markdevshop/vector-mcp (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,938 tokens to every session, about $0.0147 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.
