mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from shipstatic/mcp. It costs 8,179 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for ShipStatic's MCP server, which exposes the ShipStatic deployment and domain-management SDK to AI agents. MCP is a standard way for an agent to call tools; this server supports both local stdio and hosted HTTP connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, documenting, or operating the ShipStatic MCP server and its deployment or domain tools.
Why use it?
They prevent workflows from using outdated environment-variable names, tool names, versions, or authentication assumptions.

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

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 13d 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.md

Claude Code instructions for the ShipStatic MCP Server.

@shipstatic/mcp is the MCP server that exposes the ShipStatic SDK to AI agents via stdio, a thin wrapper over @shipstatic/ship. This repo also publishes the MCP Registry entry com.shipstatic/mcp, which names the hosted server alone (see "The registry entry names the hosted server" below). Maturity: v2.x, Deployments + Domains (15 tools).

The version says which platform it speaks to: the 2.x MCP speaks to the 3.x platform. A major is a true major for consumers: a renamed tool, a credential variable no longer read, or a changed meaning in a field an agent branches on (a described z.string() refuses nothing at the schema boundary, so a changed word breaks workflows silently). Each major's breaks are listed here:

  • 2.0.0: Domain.status means the domain's standing (live, unlinked, unverified, paused), not the DNS enum (pending, partial, success); the DNS fact is the verification field beside it. A workflow branching on "success" stops matching, silently, because DomainStatusSchema is a described z.string().
  • 1.0.0: SHIP_API_KEY is no longer read, and the delete tools were renamed (deployments_remove → deployments_delete, domains_remove → domains_delete).

A hosted Streamable-HTTP variant lives at https://mcp.shipstatic.com (the hosted transport), and it is what the registry entry lists (server.json remotes). It serves the same fifteen tools: deployments_upload to anyone, the other fourteen to an OAuth-connected caller. The user-facing strings must stay coordinated where they overlap; this package's vocabulary is how.

README positioning (public docs)

README.md ships to npm, Glama and the MCP Registry. To the reader, ShipStatic MCP is one product whose door is the hosted endpoint, with this package as the local alternative for a different NEED, never a bigger feature set.

The README tells the hosted story first and whole: add the URL, ask, connect for more, the tools. The local server is a short note at the end, "Run it on your own machine". A folder on disk is the CLI's job, so the note sends that reader to the CLI. An anchor phrase that states a CAPABILITY has a shelf life; one that states a NEED does not.

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.
