What is mcp-toolkit CLAUDE.md?

Repository-specific instructions for working on mcp-toolkit, a TypeScript monorepo of reusable middleware packages for MCP servers. A monorepo keeps several related packages in one repository, while MCP servers provide tools that other applications can call.

Use it when developing or reviewing mcp-toolkit packages, installing dependencies, building the TypeScript code, or running its tests.

It gives coding agents the project context and the correct commands, language settings, package-management rules, and testing expectations for this repository.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00995	$0.00995
Opus 5	$0.00498	$0.00498
Sonnet 5	$0.00199	$0.00199
Haiku 4.5	$0.00100	$0.00100

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-toolkit 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 today.

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 — 66 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

Public monorepo of reusable middleware packages (@mcp-toolkit/*) for building production MCP servers with the TypeScript SDK: auth, cache, rate-limit, logger, cors.

Beta (v0.2.0). Not yet published to npm -- users clone and build from source.

Stack

Language: TypeScript 7 (compiles to CommonJS -- no "type": "module", tsconfig module: Node16), Node >= 20
Framework: none -- plain library packages; peer dep @modelcontextprotocol/sdk >= 1.0
Database: none
Package manager: npm workspaces (see Repo-specific rules)
Deploy target: none yet -- npm publish pending; CI via shared reusable workflows

Run

npm install
npm run build        # tsc across all workspaces
npm run typecheck    # root tsc --noEmit (excludes examples/)
npm run lint         # per-package tsc --noEmit (no ESLint/Biome)
npm run typecheck:examples   # examples/ only; needs a build first

Test

npm test

76 tests across the five packages, run by node --test "dist/**/*.test.js". They test against a small fake server object, not a real McpServer, so they need neither the SDK nor zod. Tests are compiled from src/index.test.ts, so npm run build must run first.

Entry points

packages/<name>/src/index.ts -- each package is a single-file module (auth, cache, cors, logger, rate-limit), with tests alongside in index.test.ts
examples/*.ts -- runnable usage examples (basic-auth-server, full-middleware-stack, production-server)

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.

mcp-toolkit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Sagargupta16/mcp-toolkit (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 995 tokens to every session, about $0.0050 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
