In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on common-thread-mcp, especially for running checks, finding relevant documentation, or handling access tokens and API boundaries.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project-specific rules needed to build, test, document, and authenticate this code correctly.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is skyphusion-labs/common-thread-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on common-thread-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 common-thread-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

common-thread-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 6d 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md -- common-thread-mcp

Guidance for agents working in this repository.

What this is

@skyphusion/common-thread-mcp: stdio MCP server that drives the Common Thread backend HTTP API (same surface as the public web UI). MIT client door; Common Thread remains AGPL (implementation) + CC-BY (paper).

Status: v0.1.1 (root package.json / tags). Re-count tools from src/tools.ts.

Documentation map

Doc Role
docs/mcp.md Full install, agent wiring, tool reference, troubleshooting
docs/PARITY.md Website vs tools honesty matrix
docs/SECURITY.md Capability tokens, BYOK, boundaries
README.md npm front door
Product docs/API.md Authoritative HTTP contract (common-thread repo)

Commands

npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build
npm start   # node dist/index.js (stdio)

Auth model

  • Create: no token; response includes access_token once.
  • Everything under /investigations/:id needs Authorization: Bearer ct_….
  • Pass token per tool arg or set COMMON_THREAD_ACCESS_TOKEN + COMMON_THREAD_INVESTIGATION_ID.
  • Public host attribution: BYOK headers/body (PUBLIC_BYOK_ONLY).

Conventions

  • Conventional Commits; MIT.
  • No em-dashes / en-dashes in prose.
  • VERSION in src/version.ts must match package.json (test enforces).
  • Never log access tokens or BYOK keys.
  • stdout = MCP JSON-RPC only; logs on stderr.
  • User-Agent required on outbound fetch (Cloudflare bot filter).

Release

  1. Bump package.json + src/version.ts together.
  2. PR to main (aviation-grade).
  3. Annotated tag vX.Y.Z on main → publish-npm.yml publishes @skyphusion/common-thread-mcp.
Changes

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.
