mcpkit CLAUDE.md

A project guide for mcpkit, a Go library used to build MCP servers and clients. It points developers to the right documentation and lists supported commands for testing, security checks, and releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find project structure and detailed guidance, run the supported test targets, perform audits, tidy imports, and prepare version tags.
Why use it?
It gives contributors a clear starting point for understanding the repository and avoids relying on commands or rules that may not match the project’s authoritative workflow.

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

mcpkit 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — MCPKit

Go library for building production-grade MCP servers and clients.

The agent SDK that used to sit above the protocol here now lives in its own repository, chakra. Nothing in this tree depends on it.

This file is a router. Detail lives beside the code it describes. See Where knowledge lives below before adding anything here.

Quick Commands

make is the supported runner and the only one CI uses. Justfiles mirroring these names exist but are an experiment; make is authoritative when they disagree.

make test              # Core tests (core/server/client/testutil)
make test-auth         # ext/auth sub-module
make test-ui           # ext/ui sub-module
make test-e2e          # E2E tests (auth + apps)
make test-examples     # examples/ orchestrator
make testall           # Everything (9 stages, 21 sub-stages) + Keycloak + HTML report
make audit             # govulncheck + gosec + gitleaks + race
make tidy-all          # Required after touching core/ imports
make tag-push V=vX.Y.Z # Tag root + all sub-modules and push (RELEASING.md; pre-release is vX.Y.Z-bN)

Conformance targets (testconf, testconf-client, testconf-tasks-v2, testconf-mrtr, testconf-skills, testconf-stateless, testconf-upstream-audit, refresh-conformance, check-conformance-stale, …) are orchestrated in conformance/Makefile, which also documents each suite's MCPCONFORMANCE_*_PATH. See conformance/NOTES.md for how they are wired and which upstream changes to watch.

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.
