copilot-mcp-tool: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

copilot-mcp-tool CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Poorgramer-Zack/copilot-mcp-tool. It costs 950 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for building and testing an MCP server that connects GitHub Copilot CLI to AI clients such as Claude Desktop or Cursor. MCP is a standard that lets an AI client call tools supplied by another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing this server, running its ESM and CommonJS builds, linting the code, formatting it, or executing detailed tests.
Why use it?
They give developers the commands and directory layout needed to build the server, check its style, and run its test harness.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is Poorgramer-Zack/copilot-mcp-tool's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on copilot-mcp-tool 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 copilot-mcp-tool 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

copilot-mcp-tool 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 9d 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.

Code Architecture

High-Level Structure

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.
