mcp-plex: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp-plex AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from obrien-matthew/mcp-plex. It costs 289 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of mcp-steam AGENTS.md, MIT.

Repository instructions for building an MCP server for Plex, a media library and streaming application. They define when tools should return structured data, readable text, or errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding implementation of Plex MCP tools such as searching, listing, retrieving, deleting with confirmation, scanning, and restarting.
Why use it?
They prevent search and list results from becoming escaped JSON text and ensure failures remain visible as actual tool errors.

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

This is obrien-matthew/mcp-plex's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-plex 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 mcp-plex 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

mcp-plex 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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to mcp-steam AGENTS.md — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

mcp-plex

MCP server for Plex.

Conventions

Follows the shared conventions from mcp-template (see its AGENTS.md for full rationale): data tools return real dict/list[dict] directly (never json.dumps); action/status tools may return a human-readable -> str, as may tools whose result is genuinely a single string (IDs, versions); errors are raised, never caught and returned as strings; empty results are empty containers ({}, []), not sentinel messages.

Layout

  • src/plex_mcp/server.py -- MCP tool definitions
  • src/plex_mcp/client.py -- HTTP/API client wrapper
  • src/plex_mcp/formatting.py -- response formatters that produce LLM-friendly dicts (no json.dumps)
  • src/plex_mcp/validation.py -- input validators
  • src/plex_mcp/auth.py -- credential loading

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.
