maclocal-api CLAUDE.md

maclocal-api CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from scouzi1966/maclocal-api. It costs 4,520 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for MacLocal API, an Apple Silicon server that runs local AI models and exposes an interface compatible with OpenAI API clients.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the AFM command-line tool, HTTP routes, model backends, compatibility libraries, or the AFMKit dependency.
Why use it?
It clarifies the boundary between the local HTTP server and the separately maintained model runtimes, reducing the risk of changing or duplicating provider code in the wrong place.

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

maclocal-api 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.

Claude Code Reference for MacLocal API

Project Overview

AFM (Apple Foundation Models) is an OpenAI-compatible API server for local LLM inference on Apple Silicon. It supports two backends:

  • MLX (afm mlx): Uses mlx-swift-lm for MLX-format models from Hugging Face
  • Apple Foundation Models (afm without subcommand): Uses Apple's on-device models (macOS 26+)

The server exposes /v1/chat/completions and /v1/models endpoints compatible with OpenAI API clients.

Project Structure

The package vends a maclocal-api aggregate library (AFMKit), the Vapor HTTP layer (AFMServer), compatibility libraries, and the afm executable. Stable provider contracts and runtimes come from the standalone AFMKit package at an immutable revision. AFMServer remains local and adapts those provider facades into OpenAI-compatible HTTP responses.

Provider source ownership

AFMKit is the only source of truth for MLX, mlx-c, mlx-swift-lm, xgrammar, DwarfStar, and their AFM adaptations. maclocal-api consumes one exact AFMKit version and must not vendor, fork, patch, or compile a second provider tree. Use MACLOCAL_AFMKIT_WORKSPACE_PATH for reversible paired development, validate both repositories, then publish and pin one new AFMKit version.

DwarfStar dependency boundary

AFMKit owns the canonical DwarfStar and xgrammar dependencies, their C/C++ bridges, and provider regressions. maclocal-api consumes those products only through its resolved AFMKit dependency. Scripts/swiftpm-reliable.sh validates and fingerprints that checkout so Xcode cannot reuse products compiled from a different provider revision.

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.
