package-registry-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

package-registry-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from mikeysrecipes/package-registry-mcp. It costs 404 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of package-registry-mcp CLAUDE.md, MIT.

Project instructions for a TypeScript MCP server that searches package registries such as npm, Cargo, and NuGet. Package registries are online catalogues containing software packages and their metadata.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when installing dependencies, building or formatting the server, checking TypeScript, or testing tools that search packages and retrieve package details.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project structure, setup commands, build process, and conventions needed to work on 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

package-registry-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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to search package registries (NPM, Cargo, NuGet) and retrieve up-to-date package information. The server exposes tools for searching packages and getting detailed package metadata.

Common Commands

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Build the server (outputs to dist/)
bun run build

# Format code with Prettier
bun run format

# Test individual MCP tools
bun tool <tool-name> <json-arguments>
# Examples:
# bun tool search-npm-packages '{"query": "react"}'
# bun tool get-npm-package-details '{"name": "react"}'
# bun tool list-npm-package-versions '{"name": "react", "limit": 50}'

Architecture

  • Runtime: Uses Bun as the primary runtime and build tool
  • Entry point: src/index.ts (currently contains placeholder code)
  • Build target: Node.js compatible output in dist/
  • Dependencies:
    • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for MCP server implementation
    • zod for schema validation
  • Package manager: Yarn (specified in packageManager field)

TypeScript Configuration

The project uses strict TypeScript with modern ESNext features and bundler module resolution. Key settings:

  • Strict mode enabled with additional safety checks
  • Bundle-compatible module resolution
  • ESNext target for latest JavaScript features

Code Style Guidelines

  • Separate imports of third party packages and local files
  • Sort import in alphabetical order, based on the package name or import path. Separate packages and local file imports with an empty line.

Development Workflow

  • Run bun format and bun typecheck when you've finished making changes
Changes

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.
