CLAUDE.md

hpe-networking-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from secure-ssid/hpe-networking-mcp. It costs 3,552 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for automating HPE networking through an MCP server, covering platforms such as Aruba Central, GreenLake, Mist, ClearPass, and Apstra.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining the HPE Networking MCP project, including its router, monitoring, configuration, operations, network access control, and vendor-document lookup code.
Why use it?
It gives an assistant project-specific context about the code layout, available networking areas, and rules for operations that change systems.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is secure-ssid/hpe-networking-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hpe-networking-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 hpe-networking-mcp configures →

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 B, and why

hpe-networking-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

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.
