railyard-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

railyard-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from railyard-sh/railyard-mcp. It costs 505 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for a not-yet-published server that lets coding assistants read and change Railyard through its web API. It also documents how to build and configure that server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build the TypeScript server, configure its personal access token and address, connect it to an MCP-compatible assistant, and document its API.
Why use it?
It puts the server’s setup, authentication, build process, and available tools in one place, reducing guesswork when working on the project.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is railyard-sh/railyard-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on railyard-mcp 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 railyard-mcp 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

railyard-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 10d 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.

What it actually says

mcp/ — the Railyard MCP server

railyard-mcp: a Model Context Protocol server (stdio) that gives an MCP client (Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, …) read + write access to Railyard over the REST API, authenticated with a personal access token. TypeScript on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.

  • Source: src/index.ts (the server + all ~29 tools) and src/client.ts (a typed REST client — it's an accurate, compact description of the backend API; handy when documenting endpoints). Build: npm run build (tscdist/); entry dist/index.js (has a shebang; bin = railyard-mcp).
  • Config (env vars, read in src/index.ts): RAILYARD_TOKEN (required — a ry_… PAT minted in the app under User settings → Personal access tokens), RAILYARD_BASE_URL (optional; code default http://localhost:8080, docs use https://railyard.sh), RAILYARD_ORG (optional default org).
  • Install collateral: README.md (full tool table + copy-paste client configs), INSTALL.md (get-token → add-server → verify), manifest.json (a .mcpb/DXT desktop-extension manifest for one-click Claude Desktop install), LICENSE (MIT).

Not yet published

The npx -y railyard-mcp snippets only work once the package is published to npm — that's an operator action (choose/confirm the public name, npm publish, and npx @anthropic-ai/mcpb pack to build the .mcpb). Until then, use the from-source path (node /abs/path/mcp/dist/index.js).

Notes

  • The tool set covers projects, validation/export, orgs, members/invites and billing. It does not yet expose the newer org device-roles endpoints (get/set_org_roles) — add tools mirroring the catalogue ones if needed.
  • Validate: npm run build + npm run typecheck. Don't npm publish without the operator's go-ahead.
Changes

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.
