cross-claude-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cross-claude-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from rblank9/cross-claude-mcp. It costs 536 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Cross-Claude MCP, a tool that lets software communicate with Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). They describe its public and private repositories and development workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, packaging, or deploying Cross-Claude MCP and when changing code shared by both repositories.
Why use it?
They explain where shared code belongs and how changes move between the open-source project and its separate SaaS product.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is rblank9/cross-claude-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cross-claude-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 cross-claude-mcp configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/rblank/Projects/cross-claude-mcp-saas/.

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

cross-claude-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

Cross-Claude MCP

Project type: Personal open-source project — Simple Mode always on.

Architecture: Dual-Repo Model

Public (open-source): This repo (rblank9/cross-claude-mcp) — MIT licensed

  • server.mjs — Entry point (stdio + HTTP modes)
  • db.mjs — SQLite (local) / PostgreSQL (remote) abstraction
  • tools.mjs — Shared MCP tool + prompt registration (used by both repos)
  • skill/SKILL.md — Superpowers skill for Claude Code (symlink to ~/.claude/skills/cross-claude/)
  • test.mjs — Integration tests (54 tests)

Private (SaaS): rblank9/cross-claude-mcp-saas at /Users/rblank/Projects/cross-claude-mcp-saas/

  • Flat structure (no saas/ subdirectory), standalone deployable
  • server-saas.mjs, db-saas.mjs, auth.mjs, billing.mjs, dashboard.mjs, admin.mjs, rate-limit.mjs
  • tools.mjs — Imported from this repo as a GitHub package dependency (NOT a local copy)

Development Workflow

  • Source of truth for SaaS code: saas/ directory in THIS repo
  • Deployment: SaaS repo imports tools.mjs as a GitHub package ("cross-claude-mcp": "github:rblank9/cross-claude-mcp"). To propagate tools.mjs changes: push here, then npm update cross-claude-mcp in the SaaS repo and redeploy.
  • Railway SaaS deploys from the private repo via Procfile (web: node server-saas.mjs)
  • Railway open-source deploys from this repo's main branch

Key Rules

  • NEVER put SaaS-only code (auth, billing, admin, multi-tenancy) into server.mjs or db.mjs
  • tools.mjs is the ONE shared file — SaaS imports it as a package; after changes, run npm update in SaaS repo
  • The SaaS DB schema has tenant_id on all tables with ON DELETE CASCADE — open-source schema does not
  • Procfile controls Railway entry point — not npm start
  • Stripe webhook route MUST use express.raw() BEFORE any express.json() middleware
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.
