source-map-parser-mcp copilot-instructions.md

Instructions for a TypeScript MCP server that reads JavaScript source maps. Source maps connect compressed browser code and its error locations back to the original source files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up and building the source-map parser server, running its tests, and tracing errors in minified JavaScript back to original code locations.
Why use it?
They provide the required setup, build, test, and run steps, including a known client-test timeout that does not necessarily mean the server is broken. This helps developers work with the server consistently.

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

source-map-parser-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 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.

Source Map Parser MCP Server

Always reference these instructions first and fallback to search or bash commands only when you encounter unexpected information that does not match the info here.

This is a TypeScript MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for parsing JavaScript source maps. It provides tools to map minified JavaScript error stack traces back to their original source code locations.

Working Effectively

Bootstrap and Build (REQUIRED)

  • ALWAYS run these commands in order to get started:
    • npm install -- takes ~1 second. Dependencies are already cached.
    • npm run build -- takes ~4-5 seconds total. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 30+ seconds.
    • The build process includes:
      • npm run build:vite (Vite build ~1.3 seconds)
      • npx -y repomix (documentation generation ~3 seconds)

Testing

  • npm run test:ci -- takes ~11 seconds total. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 30+ seconds.
    • Memory cache tests: 8 tests pass in <1 second
    • Client test: Currently times out after 10 seconds (known issue - integration test configuration)
    • Note: The client test timeout does NOT indicate the server is broken - it's a test configuration issue
  • Do NOT attempt to fix the client test timeout unless specifically asked - it's not critical to functionality

Running the Server

  • Method 1 (Development): npx tsx src/main.ts
  • Method 2 (Built): node dist/main.es.js
  • Method 3 (NPX): npx -y source-map-parser-mcp@latest
  • The server runs as an MCP stdio server and will wait for MCP client connections

Environment Configuration

  • SOURCE_MAP_PARSER_RESOURCE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE - Max memory cache (default: 200MB)
  • SOURCE_MAP_PARSER_CONTEXT_OFFSET_LINE - Context lines around errors (default: 1)

Validation

ALWAYS Test These Scenarios After Changes:

  1. Build Validation:
    • npm run build must complete successfully
    • Check that dist/main.es.js and dist/main.cjs.js are created
    • Verify no TypeScript compilation errors

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.
