QgisStreamMCP: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

QgisStreamMCP CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nic01asFr/QgisStreamMCP. It costs 2,355 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an add-on that exposes a QGIS Desktop session to an AI agent. QGIS is desktop software for creating, analyzing, and displaying maps and geographic data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing tools for QGIS, running geographic-data workflows, creating maps and print layouts, or working with the server and its remote desktop stream.
Why use it?
They explain the container's connected services, the bridge into QGIS, and the available actions. This gives an agent the context needed to change or use the mapping system correctly.

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

QgisStreamMCP CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
