In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, or reviewing this repository, especially for remote file operations, credentials, backups, and domain redirects.
Why use it?
They define required checks and safety rules, such as restricting file access to configured website roots and backing up existing files before changes.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is mocchalera/xserver-files-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on xserver-files-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 xserver-files-mcp configures →

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

xserver-files-mcp AGENTS.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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md

Scope

  • Maintain the local stdio MCP server and CLI for XServer SFTP file operations in this repository.
  • Keep repository guidance concise; detailed operating workflows belong in skills/xserver-files-operator/SKILL.md and skills/xserver-mcp-operator/SKILL.md.

Required Commands

  • Setup: npm install
  • Test: npm test
  • CLI smoke check: XSERVER_FILES_CONFIG=config/example.config.json node src/cli.js servers

Hard Constraints

  • Do not commit private keys, passphrases, server passwords, or real local config files.
  • Do not hard-code live XServer credentials in source code or tests.
  • Keep file operations constrained to configured roots[domain]; never add absolute remote-path inputs to tools.
  • Preserve write safety: existing remote files must be backed up by default.

Task Workflow

  • Prefer shared operation code in src/operations.js; keep src/server.js and src/cli.js as thin adapters.
  • Use skills/ as the authored project-skill source; .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, .gemini/skills/, .cursor/skills/, .grok/skills/, and .antigravity/skills/ are compatibility views.
  • Keep XServer-provided MCP guidance separate from the custom SFTP MCP/CLI guidance.
  • Run npm run validate:agent-support after changing skills or agent-facing entrypoints.
  • Before changing remote-write behavior, update or add tests that exercise dry-run, backup, and path-safety behavior.

Definition of Done

  • npm test passes.
  • npm run validate:agent-support passes when skills or agent-facing entrypoints change.
  • MCP stdio smoke coverage still lists and calls at least one read-only tool.
  • README and project skills stay aligned with any command, config, or XServer MCP workflow 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.
