What is mcp-for-argo-workflows CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for an AI coding assistant working on an MCP server for Argo Workflows. Argo Workflows is a system for running jobs and pipelines on Kubernetes, while MCP is a standard way for AI assistants to use tools.

Use it when developing or maintaining the server that lets AI assistants interact with Argo Workflows through standard tools.

They explain the project's goals, dependencies, supported connections, and build checks in one place. This reduces mistakes when building, testing, linting, or packaging the Go server.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01490	$0.01490
Opus 5.5	$0.00596	$0.00596
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00298	$0.00298
Haiku 4.5	$0.00149	$0.00149

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-for-argo-workflows 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 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.

Project Overview

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Argo Workflows, allowing AI assistants like Claude to interact with Argo Workflows via standardized tools.

Repository: github.com/pipekit/mcp-for-argo-workflows

Goals

Standalone Go binary using the official MCP Go SDK
Support stdio, streamable HTTP and HTTP/SSE transports
Support both direct Kubernetes API access and Argo Server connections
Cover all major CLI operations as MCP tools

Key Dependencies

github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk — Official MCP Go SDK
github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3/pkg/apiclient — Argo client libraries

Build Commands

make all        # Run fmt, vet, lint, test and build the linux/amd64 binary
make build-all  # Cross-compile binaries for all platforms into dist/
make test       # Run tests with race detection and coverage
make lint       # Run golangci-lint
make lint-fix   # Run golangci-lint with auto-fix
make fmt        # Run gofmt and goimports
make vet        # Run go vet
make clean      # Remove build artifacts

Binaries land in dist/ (e.g. dist/mcp-for-argo-workflows-linux-amd64). Run make help to see all targets.

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.
