openapi-mcp CLAUDE.md

openapi-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from pvliesdonk/openapi-mcp. It costs 5,555 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an MCP server that creates tools at startup from an OpenAPI specification. OpenAPI is a standard document describing an application's available web requests, and MCP is a way for AI agents to use tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding development of an OpenAPI-based MCP server, including its structure, coding style, tests, authentication, and pull-request checks.
Why use it?
It provides rules for keeping the server's generated tools, authentication, Python code, and pull requests consistent. It separates authentication for people calling the server from authentication used to call the wrapped API.

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

openapi-mcp 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 5d 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 — 274 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenAPI MCP

A generic MCP server that builds its tools at runtime from any OpenAPI specification.

Design

This sibling derives its domain tools from an OpenAPI spec at boot rather than hand-writing them. The only departure from a stock generated project is make_server() (loads+validates the spec, builds the upstream client, wires OpenAPIProvider) and the plain-Python spec/auth core in domain.py (load_spec, resolve_base_url, required_schemes, build_upstream_client). Inbound auth (who may call this server) is inherited from pvl-core; upstream auth (OAPI_SECURITY_*, how this server talks to the wrapped API) is the only new auth surface. Keep the two strictly separate.

Project Structure

Conventions

  • Python 3.11+
  • uv for package management, ruff for linting/formatting (line length 88)
  • hatchling build backend
  • Conventional commits: feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, test:, chore:
  • Google-style docstrings on all public functions
  • logging.getLogger(__name__) throughout, no print()
  • Type hints everywhere
  • Tests: pytest with fixtures in tests/fixtures/

Hard PR Acceptance Gates

Every PR must pass all of the following before merge. Do not open or push a PR until these are green locally:

  1. CI passesuv run pytest -x -q all tests pass
  2. Lint passes — run in this exact order: uv run ruff check --fix . then uv run ruff format . then verify with uv run ruff format --check .. Always run format after check --fix because check --fix can leave files needing reformatting.
  3. Type-check passesuv run mypy src/ tests/ reports no errors
  4. Patch coverage ≥ 80% — Codecov measures only lines added/changed in the PR diff. Run uv run pytest --cov=<changed_module> --cov-report=term-missing and verify new code is exercised. Add tests for every uncovered branch before pushing.

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.
