mcp-uplift: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp-uplift AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from MohibShaikh/mcp-uplift. It costs 1,748 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for coding agents working on mcp-uplift, a small translator that puts one legacy MCP server behind a newer protocol. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to connect to external services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Understanding the project's scope, following its hard rules, and verifying protocol behavior while modifying mcp-uplift.
Why use it?
It defines strict project rules and requires protocol details to be checked against the real specification before code is changed.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is MohibShaikh/mcp-uplift's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-uplift 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 mcp-uplift 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

mcp-uplift 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Instructions for coding agents working in this repository. Read this before touching anything. CLAUDE.md holds the same project conventions in more detail; this file is the operating contract.

What this project is

mcp-uplift wraps one trusted legacy MCP stdio server and presents it behind the stateless 2026-07-28 protocol. It is a protocol translator. It is not a framework, not a sandbox, and not a general proxy.

It ships with zero runtime dependencies and 6 source files. That is a deliberate design property, not an accident waiting to be fixed.

Hard rules

These are not preferences. Violating any of them makes the change unacceptable regardless of how good the code is.

  1. Never invent protocol behavior. Do not write a method name, field name, or error code from memory. Fetch the real thing first:

    • Prose: docs/specification/2026-07-28/ in the modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol repo (gh api works).
    • Schema and canonical payloads: schema/2026-07-28/, especially examples/, which contains real request and response JSON.

    If you cannot verify a detail, stop and say so. A plausible guess about a wire format is worse than an unfinished task.

  2. Add no dependencies. Not to dependencies, not to devDependencies. The test suite is node --test. If you want a library, you do not need it.

  3. Create no new files unless the task explicitly asks for one. Put the change where the related code already lives.

  4. Do not refactor code you were not asked to change. Renaming, reformatting, reorganizing, "modernizing", extracting helpers, or tidying adjacent code are all out of scope by default. A diff that touches files unrelated to the task will be rejected.

  5. Simple implementations for complex concepts. A plain Map and a short function beat a class hierarchy. If a concept is hard, spend the words in a comment explaining why, not in machinery.

  6. Comments explain why, not what. Match the existing style in src/: every comment states the protocol constraint or the failure that forced the code to be the way it is. Never narrate what the next line already says.

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.
