knowledgebase-mcp AGENTS.md

A set of repository instructions for an open-source MCP knowledge-base server. MCP is a standard way for AI agents to use tools and data from another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the knowledge-base server, especially its content sources, search, skills, integrations, or MCP communication.
Why use it?
It keeps contributions portable and safe by defining rules for content, authentication, file paths, testing, logging, and optional outside services.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

knowledgebase-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 2d 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

Agent Instructions

This repository is a public-ready MCP knowledgebase engine. Keep changes generic, configurable, and safe for open-source use.

Priorities

  • Preserve the zero-database default path.
  • Keep content in content/ user-owned and portable.
  • Keep private/provider-backed features optional.
  • Use clear names for surfaces, content sources, search, skills, and integrations.
  • Prefer small, explicit modules over hidden framework magic.
  • Add tests around safety boundaries: auth, path traversal, schema validation, surface registration, search, skills, and provider scope guards.
  • Preserve MCP protocol integrity. For stdio servers, stdout is reserved for JSON-RPC protocol messages only; diagnostics must go to stderr through the shared logger.

Do Not Add

  • Personal project content.
  • Private deployment domains.
  • Secret manager assumptions.
  • Required paid providers for the default path.
  • Raw provider resource ids in MCP tool input.
  • console.log or process.stdout.write in MCP runtime code. Use the shared logger or an MCP protocol response/notification.
  • Query-string secrets as the normal production auth path. ?api_key= is an opt-in compatibility fallback only.

Verification

Run these before considering a change complete:

pnpm test
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm validate
pnpm build

Run heavy commands sequentially.

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.
