FFBB-MCP-Server: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

FFBB-MCP-Server copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from nickdesi/FFBB-MCP-Server. It costs 403 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project-specific instructions for a Python MCP server, a program that makes French basketball federation data available to AI tools. They describe its technology choices, file layout, commands, and coding conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide dependency installation, formatting, linting, type checking, testing, and changes to the server's services, cache, prompts, and tests.
Why use it?
They help an agent work within the repository's existing setup instead of using incompatible tools or putting code in the wrong place.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

FFBB-MCP-Server copilot-instructions.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

FFBB MCP Server — Copilot Instructions

Project

Python MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing French basketball federation (FFBB) data. Built with mcp[cli], uvicorn, starlette, cachetools, ffbb-data-client.

Stack

  • Package manager: uv (lockfile: uv.lock). Never use pip install directly.
  • Formatter/Linter: ruff format + ruff check. Never use black.
  • Type checker: mypy
  • Test runner: pytest with pytest-asyncio
  • Runtime: Python 3.10+

Key commands

uv sync --extra dev        # Install all dependencies
uv run ruff format .       # Format code
uv run ruff check --fix .  # Lint + autofix
uv run mypy src            # Type check
uv run pytest              # Run tests

Conventions

  • All source code lives in src/ffbb_mcp/
  • Services are in src/ffbb_mcp/services.py (single file, not a package)
  • Cache strategy in src/ffbb_mcp/cache_strategy.py
  • Prompts/guardrails in src/ffbb_mcp/prompts.py
  • Tests in tests/
  • One-off tooling scripts in tools/

CI

  • CI uses ruff format --check (not black). Don't introduce black.
  • Formatting violations will fail CI. Always run uv run ruff format . before committing.
  • Pre-commit hook (.pre-commit-config.yaml) handles this automatically if installed.

Do not

  • Commit directly to main without running tests
  • Add dependencies without updating uv.lock (uv add <pkg>)
  • Use pip, poetry, or black
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.
