gemini-rag-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

gemini-rag-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from masseater/gemini-rag-mcp. It costs 1,762 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for an MCP server that uses Google's Gemini API to search uploaded documents by meaning. RAG, or retrieval-augmented generation, means finding relevant source material before an AI answers; here the documents form searchable knowledge bases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building or maintaining document knowledge bases, semantic search, MCP connections over standard input or HTTP, and the related TypeScript tests and checks.
Why use it?
They provide the setup, run commands, and quality checks needed to develop and test the document-search server.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is masseater/gemini-rag-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gemini-rag-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 gemini-rag-mcp configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { BaseTool } from "../base/base-tool.js";.

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

gemini-rag-mcp 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 9d 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.

Project Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities using Google's Gemini API File Search feature. The server enables AI applications to create knowledge bases from uploaded documents and retrieve information using semantic search. Built with TypeScript in strict mode, supporting both stdio and HTTP transports.

Development Commands

Setup

pnpm install

Development

# stdio transport (default, for MCP clients like Claude Desktop)
pnpm run dev

# HTTP transport (for debugging and testing)
pnpm run dev:http

Building

pnpm run build

Code Quality

# Type checking (MUST pass before committing)
pnpm run type-check

# Linting (MUST pass before committing)
pnpm run lint

# Auto-fix linting errors
pnpm run lint:fix

# Detect unused code/dependencies
pnpm run knip

# Auto-fix knip issues
pnpm run knip:fix

Testing

# Run tests
pnpm run test

# Watch mode
pnpm run test:watch

# With coverage
pnpm run test:coverage

Running Built Server

# stdio transport
pnpm run start:stdio

# HTTP transport
pnpm run start:http

Node.js Version Management

This project uses Volta for Node.js version management. The required version is specified in package.json under volta field (Node.js 22.20.0).

When running commands, Volta automatically uses the correct Node.js version specified in the project.

Architecture

Tool System Architecture

The codebase implements a Template Method Pattern for tool development:

  1. BaseTool (src/tools/base/base-tool.ts): Abstract base class for all tools
    • Provides consistent error handling and response formatting
    • All tools must extend this class
    • Override getInputSchema() to define Zod validation schema
    • Override execute() to implement tool logic (can be sync or async)

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.
