Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is shenyimings/DocNav-MCP's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on DocNav-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 DocNav-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 A, and why

DocNav-MCP 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 8d 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.

DocNav MCP Server

Project Description

DocNav is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to help LLMs read, process, and navigate long-form documents. The server provides intelligent document analysis and navigation capabilities, starting with Markdown files and expanding to support PDF and other document formats.

Key Features

  • Document Navigation: Navigate through document sections, headings, and content
  • Content Extraction: Extract and summarize document sections
  • Search & Query: Find specific content within documents
  • Multi-format Support: Initially supports Markdown (.md) files, with planned support for PDF and other formats
  • MCP Integration: Seamless integration with MCP-compatible LLMs

Architecture

The server follows a modular architecture:

  • Core MCP Server: Main server implementation using MCP protocol
  • Document Processors: Pluggable processors for different file types
  • Navigation Engine: Handles document structure analysis and navigation
  • Content Extractors: Extract and format content from documents
  • Search Engine: Provides search and query capabilities

Development Guidelines

This document contains critical information about working with this codebase. Follow these guidelines precisely.

Core Development Rules

  1. Package Management

    • ONLY use uv, NEVER pip
    • Installation: uv add package
    • Running tools: uv run tool
    • Upgrading: uv add --dev package --upgrade-package package
    • FORBIDDEN: uv pip install, @latest syntax
  2. Code Quality

    • Type hints required for all code
    • Public APIs must have docstrings
    • Functions must be focused and small
    • Follow existing patterns exactly
    • Line length: 88 chars maximum
  3. Testing Requirements

    • Framework: uv run --frozen pytest
    • Async testing: use anyio, not asyncio
    • Coverage: test edge cases and errors
    • New features require tests
    • Bug fixes require regression tests
  • For commits fixing bugs or adding features based on user reports add:
    git commit --trailer "Reported-by:<name>"
    
    Where <name> is the name of the user.

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.
