planning-center-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

planning-center-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from nathanrcast/planning-center-mcp. It costs 646 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for coding agents working on planning-center-mcp, a server and Python package that connects to Planning Center Online, stores data in MongoDB, and uses an Ollama-based question-answering tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to run the package and MongoDB service, preserve compatibility for downstream users, and follow project rules when changing queries or agent behavior.
Why use it?
They document tests, containers, deployment rules, and project constraints that are easy to miss, such as rebuilding consumers after changes to the main branch.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is nathanrcast/planning-center-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on planning-center-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 planning-center-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

planning-center-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 today.

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.

planning-center-mcp — agent notes

MCP server + pip package for Planning Center Online (Services): PCO API tools, a MongoDB cache with report queries, and an Ollama-backed ask_question agent. Tool list and setup: README.md. Public repo — lab details go in the gitignored CLAUDE.local.md.

Commands

  • pip install -e ".[dev]" && pytest -q (tests in tests/, no network).
  • docker compose up -d --build — service mcp + mongo.

Consumers — changes ship only from main

  • Downstream consumers install this package from GitHub main, unpinned. A change reaches one only after it is pushed to main and the consumer image is rebuilt with docker compose build --no-cache (a normal rebuild keeps the cached pip layer). Keep queries/agent signatures backward compatible or change the consumer in step.
  • The container runs code from /app, not site-packages (the Dockerfile installs only __init__.py, then copies the source). Scripts run inside it need cd /app && PYTHONPATH=/app python … or they fail with ModuleNotFoundError: planning_center_mcp.sync.

Invariants

  • Lyrics come from Mongo, never the PCO API (it has no lyric search). Two sources per song, both stored by sync_pco_data: PCO arrangement lyrics, and ProPresenter 7 .pro attachments (protobuf with RTF slide text, parsed in propresenter.py — no published schema). Bump PARSER_VERSION after changing extraction and re-sync; the cache is keyed on attachment id + updated_at and never re-reads otherwise.
  • assign_tags_to_song may replace a song's whole tag set — read the current tags first (Mongo or /services/v2/songs/{id}/tags) and send them along with the new one.
  • Agent calls to Ollama use /api/chat with think: false; the model comes from AGENT_MODEL (the hardcoded fallback in agent.py is overridden in every deployment).

Traps

  • The PCO token can't create tags — create_song_tag returns "Permission denied". It can assign existing tags; new ones are created in the PCO Services UI (Songs → Tags).
  • One song (Gratitude) 422s on PCO's /attachments/{id}/open — PCO-side; it's logged and skipped.
  • Nothing schedules sync_pco_data. Each consumer's Mongo drifts until someone syncs it.
  • llm.py hardcodes EMBED_MODEL (nomic-embed-text) — that model must stay installed on the Ollama host.

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.
