backlog-mcp-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

backlog-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nulab/backlog-mcp-server. It costs 246 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository-specific instructions for contributors working on the Backlog MCP Server, especially when writing code comments. MCP is a protocol for connecting AI tools to external services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing this repository and deciding whether a comment belongs in the code, a test name, a pull request, or the documentation.
Why use it?
It prevents comments from merely repeating the code and sets a short standard for documenting security reasons, specifications, unusual behavior, and external-system workarounds.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

backlog-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 17d 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

backlog-mcp-server

Comments

Keep comments to a minimum. Let names and structure carry the intent, and use a comment only for a "why" that the code cannot show.

Write:

  • Security reasons (token leaks, open redirects, SSRF, CSRF, …)
  • Behaviour that follows a spec. Cite the RFC or MCP spec section (e.g. // RFC 9207 — every authorization response carries iss)
  • Code that is counter-intuitive or breaks if removed
  • Workarounds for quirks of external systems (Backlog API, MCP clients, runtimes)

Don't write:

  • A restatement of the code, or JSDoc that only repeats the name and types
  • History, past implementations or change logs (put them in the commit message and PR)
  • Alternatives considered or long reasons for not choosing them (put them in the PR or docs/)
  • Narration of what a test does. Say it in the test name

Aim for 1–3 lines. If it turns into a paragraph, it belongs in the PR description or docs/.

When touching existing code, it is fine to remove nearby comments that do not meet this standard.

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.
