Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is Sagargupta16/awesome-mcp-servers's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on awesome-mcp-servers 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 awesome-mcp-servers configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - Root [`CLAUDE.md`](../../CLAUDE.md) -- voice, rules, routing map, references, skills, slash commands, conventions..

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

awesome-mcp-servers 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 4d 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file stacks on top of the workspace root at C:\Code\GitHub\:

  • Root CLAUDE.md -- voice, rules, routing map, references, skills, slash commands, conventions.
  • Root MEMORY.md -- live facts across repos.
  • Root STATUS.md -- live PR/CI/security dashboard.
  • .claude/resources/ -- deep reference for collaboration, workflow, git, OSS, debugging, voice.

Read those first. The guidance below only adds repo-specific context -- it does not override anything in the root.

Project

Curated awesome-list of MCP servers, frameworks, clients, and resources, maintained by Sagar and open to community PRs. README.md is the product; scripts/ is the machinery that keeps its promises true.

Stack

  • Language: Markdown (the list) plus Python (the gate scripts in scripts/, stdlib only)
  • Framework: none
  • Database: none
  • Package manager: none for the list; requirements-dev.in / requirements-dev.txt hash-lock ruff and pytest for the scripts
  • Deploy target: GitHub README (no build, no deploy)

Run

python scripts/validate.py          # structure, format, duplicates, ordering
python scripts/validate.py --fix    # auto-repair ordering, whitespace, dashes
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) python scripts/check_submission.py --base-ref origin/main
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) python scripts/staleness_report.py

.python-version (3.14) is the interpreter every workflow installs via python-version-file.

Test

pip install --require-hashes -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest tests/ -q
ruff check scripts/ tests/
ruff format --check scripts/ tests/

requirements-dev.txt is a uv-generated universal hash lock; requirements-dev.in is the source and carries the regeneration command. Both the pin and ruff.toml's rule set exist so ruff format --check cannot flip on a formatter release.

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.
