Memory-Alpha-MCP: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

Memory-Alpha-MCP AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from SandboxServers/Memory-Alpha-MCP. It costs 1,258 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction guide stored in AGENTS.md for an MCP server about Star Trek knowledge. It describes the project structure, commands, technology choices, and rules that coding agents must follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing tools, prompts, resources, API parsing, tests, or shared utilities in the Memory Alpha MCP server.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the context needed to work safely in an unfamiliar repository. This reduces accidental changes that conflict with the architecture, tests, or command-line behavior.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is SandboxServers/Memory-Alpha-MCP's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on Memory-Alpha-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 Memory-Alpha-MCP configures →

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

Memory-Alpha-MCP 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 1mo 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.

Project Overview

Memory Alpha MCP is a TypeScript/ESM MCP server for Star Trek knowledge. It fetches live data from the Memory Alpha MediaWiki API, parses wikitext into structured text, and exposes that data through MCP tools, prompts, and resources.

Primary stack:

  • Node.js 18+
  • TypeScript with module/moduleResolution set to NodeNext
  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • wtf_wikipedia
  • zod
  • vitest

The server runs over stdio, so output discipline matters.

Repository Map

  • src/index.ts: server bootstrap, stdio transport, shutdown handling, and registration of all tools/prompts/resources.
  • src/api/: MediaWiki API client helpers for search, article parsing, categories, episodes, and random lookup.
  • src/parser/: wikitext parsing, infobox/sidebar extraction, and section extraction.
  • src/tools/: MCP tool implementations. Each file exports a register...Tool(server) function.
  • src/prompts/index.ts: Trek-themed MCP prompt registrations.
  • src/resources/index.ts: static MCP resources under trek://... URIs.
  • src/utils/: shared utilities for logging, attribution, text cleanup, cache, and shuffle helpers.
  • tests/: Vitest unit tests for parser logic, utilities, and deterministic tool helpers.

Commands

Run from the repository root.

  • npm install: install dependencies.
  • npm run build: compile src/ to dist/ with tsc.
  • npm run dev: run the server directly with tsx src/index.ts.
  • npm test: run the Vitest suite.
  • npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js: inspect the built MCP server interactively.

Non-Negotiable Rules

  1. Never use console.log. console.log can corrupt the stdio MCP transport. Use console.error via src/utils/logger.ts for diagnostics.

  2. Add attribution to successful Memory Alpha content. Any successful response that includes wiki-derived content must go through withAttribution() from src/utils/attribution.ts. Plain error responses that contain no wiki content should not add attribution.

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.
