mealie-mcp-server: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mealie-mcp-server AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from rldiao/mealie-mcp-server. It costs 460 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a Python 3.12 server that connects an MCP tool interface to the Mealie recipe-management API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or reviewing API mixins, tools, data models, server wiring, configuration, tests, and commits in this repository.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project’s expected structure, testing commands, coding constraints, and rules for protecting API keys and user content.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is rldiao/mealie-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mealie-mcp-server 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 mealie-mcp-server configures →

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to rldiao/mealie-mcp-server. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

mealie-mcp-server AGENTS.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

Repository guidance

Project shape

  • This is a Python 3.12 MCP server backed by the Mealie HTTP API.
  • src/mealie/ contains API mixins and the shared HTTP client.
  • src/tools/ contains FastMCP-facing tool registrations.
  • src/models/ contains Pydantic request and response models.
  • src/server.py wires configuration, the client, prompts, and tools together.
  • Use the SDK import from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP; there is no standalone fastmcp dependency.

Development workflow

  • Install all development dependencies with uv sync --extra dev.
  • Before committing, run uv run ruff check src tests and uv run pytest -q.
  • Keep uv.lock synchronized whenever pyproject.toml changes.
  • Make focused commits. Do not stage generated files, local logs, .env, .DS_Store, or debug artifacts.
  • The shared working tree may contain user changes. Inspect git status first and preserve unrelated work.
  • Before pushing main, fetch the remote and inspect divergence. Rebase without overwriting newer remote functionality.

Behavioral constraints

  • Never log API keys, request bodies, response bodies, recipe content, user data, or shopping-list content.
  • Logging for stdio transport must go to stderr. Do not add an unconditional file logger or write protocol-adjacent output to stdout.
  • Startup must fail on unsuccessful Mealie health checks; always call raise_for_status().
  • Close the HTTP client during shutdown.
  • Keep MCP tool names and prompt references synchronized.
  • Preserve Mealie field casing at the API boundary, such as recipeId, entryType, and perPage.

Adding an API capability

  1. Add or extend the appropriate mixin in src/mealie/.
  2. Ensure the mixin is inherited by MealieFetcher in src/mealie/__init__.py.
  3. Add the FastMCP wrapper in src/tools/.
  4. Register and export the wrapper through src/tools/__init__.py.
  5. Add tests for request method, URL, parameters or payload, validation, success, and failure behavior.
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.
