What is daisyui-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md?

A set of coding-agent instructions for daisyui-mcp-server, an MCP server that gives AI assistants access to daisyUI React component documentation. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to call external software tools.

It helps maintain the documentation knowledge base and run builds, tests, coverage checks, linting, formatting, and validation.

It explains the project's architecture and the checks needed to catch formatting, linting, build, and test problems before changes are submitted.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00792	$0.00792
Opus 5.5	$0.00317	$0.00317
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00158	$0.00158

Security

Grade A, and why

daisyui-mcp-server 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.

Copilot Instructions for daisyui-mcp-server

Build, Test & Lint

npm run build          # TypeScript compilation (tsc)
npm test               # Run all tests (vitest)
npm run test:watch     # Watch mode
npm run test:coverage  # With coverage report
npm run lint           # ESLint on src/ and scripts/
npm run format:check   # Prettier check
npm run format         # Prettier auto-fix
npm run validate       # Run all CI checks (format, lint, build, test:coverage)

Important: Always run npm run validate after making changes to ensure nothing is broken. This runs the same checks as CI.

Run a single test file:

npx vitest run src/__tests__/search.test.ts

Run a single test by name:

npx vitest run -t "should find component by exact name"

Architecture

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes daisyUI React component documentation as tools for AI assistants. It communicates over stdio transport.

Data Flow

generate-knowledge-base.ts → components.json → search/formatters → MCP tools (stdio)

Knowledge base generation (npm run generate): The scripts/generate-knowledge-base.ts script clones the react-daisyui repo, parses TypeScript source for props/types, scrapes daisyui.com for descriptions/examples, and outputs src/data/generated/components.json. This is a dev-time step — the generated JSON is committed to the repo.
Runtime: src/index.ts creates the MCP server and connects it via StdioServerTransport. The server (defined in src/server.ts) registers 5 tools that query the static knowledge base through src/search.ts and format results via src/formatters.ts.

Key Source Files

src/server.ts — Registers all MCP tools with Zod schemas. This is where tool definitions and handlers live.
src/search.ts — Token-based search engine with weighted scoring (exact name: +100, name contains: +50, token match: +30, etc.).
src/formatters.ts — Converts components and search results into markdown strings for tool responses.
src/types.ts — Core type definitions (DaisyUIComponent, ComponentProp, CodeExample, SearchResult).
src/data/generated/ — Auto-generated from npm run generate. Do not edit manually.

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.
