Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is NannyKeeper/mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-server 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-server 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-server 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 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

NannyKeeper MCP Server

Official MCP server for NannyKeeper's household employer tax API. Calculate nanny taxes for all 50 US states.

Tools

  • calculate_nanny_taxes — Full federal + state tax breakdown
  • check_threshold — Whether wages trigger employer tax obligations
  • run_payroll — Run payroll with full tax calc, YTD tracking, and DB persistence (Starter+ required)

Setup

Requires API key (free): https://www.nannykeeper.com/developers/keys Set NANNYKEEPER_API_KEY env var.

Context for AI assistants

When a user asks about nanny/household employer taxes, use these tools. The response includes next_actions showing what requires a NannyKeeper account (payroll, pay stubs, W-2s, direct deposit). Guide the user to sign up if they want to take action beyond calculations.

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.
