mcp-4d-docs copilot-instructions.md

mcp-4d-docs copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from mesopelagique/mcp-4d-docs. It costs 307 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for an MCP server, a program that gives AI tools access to external functions. This server fetches, extracts, caches, and opens 4D programming documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing the TypeScript server, working with its three documentation tools, or following its build, caching, and URL rules.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project context needed to build, run, test, and maintain the documentation server correctly.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

Not installable on its own: it runs a file from its repository that does not travel with it. Clone the repository, or install whatever ships that file. The line is node build/index.js.

Install

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: GitHub Copilot.

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 C, and why

mcp-4d-docs copilot-instructions.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

What it actually says

Project: mcp-4d-docs

This is a TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools to fetch and cache 4D command documentation.

Key Features

  • Fetch 4D command documentation from https://developer.4d.com/docs/commands/
  • Extract article content from HTML <article> tag within <main> tag
  • Cache results in OS system cache for performance
  • Open documentation URLs in default web browser
  • Three tools: get_4d_command_docs, clear_4d_docs_cache, and open_4d_command_in_browser

Development Guidelines

  • Node.js 18+ and TypeScript required
  • Uses MCP SDK for TypeScript
  • Cheerio for HTML parsing
  • Node built-in modules (fs, crypto, os, path) for caching
  • System cache for documentation storage (macOS: ~/Library/Caches, Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%, Linux: ~/.cache)

Running the Server

# Build TypeScript
npm run build

# Run the server
node build/index.js

# Testing with MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js

URL Encoding

Command names are converted to lowercase with spaces replaced by hyphens:

  • "ACTIVITY SNAPSHOT" → "activity-snapshot"
  • "ARRAY TO LIST" → "array-to-list"

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.
