mcp CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for an AI coding assistant working on Qencode MCP, a server that exposes Qencode’s video-transcoding API through an agent connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing dependencies, running the Qencode MCP server locally, checking code quality, or understanding its OAuth-protected HTTP setup.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant the project background, setup commands, security model, and development guidance needed to work consistently in the repository.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 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 yesterday.

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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this is

qencode-mcp is the Resource Server (RS) half of the Qencode MCP integration. It exposes the Qencode Transcoding API as MCP tools, resources, and prompts over streamable HTTP, secured by OAuth 2.1 (the AS lives elsewhere, on auth.qencode.com / auth-qa.qencode.com). There is no stdio / static-QENCODE_API_KEY mode — the server only runs OAuth-protected over HTTP.

The connector is deployed in both environments: production https://mcp.qencode.com/mcp (Authorization Server https://auth.qencode.com) and QA https://mcp-qa.qencode.com/mcp (https://auth-qa.qencode.com). See docs/oauth-spec.md for the full AS↔RS contract (built by the portal team, consumed here), docs/testing.md for the test-layer overview, and docs/local-development.md for running the RS locally.

# Regenerate the schema digest + index from the docs repo. Run this whenever
# transcoding.json changes upstream and commit the resulting files.

.venv/bin/python scripts/build_assets.py --check   # CI guard for staleness

# Generate a fresh ES256 signing key for the §6.2 portal bridge

# Offline test suite (L1/L2/protocol/security; no network — see docs/testing.md)

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.
