How snowild/redmine-mcp configures Claude Code

Q: What is redmine-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for a Python server that connects AI tools to Redmine, a system for tracking software projects, issues, and work items. They describe the development setup, files, dependencies, and tests.

Q: What is it for?

Use them when developing, testing, or maintaining the Redmine MCP server and its API client, configuration, documentation, and test suite.

Q: Why use it?

They help an AI coding assistant understand how this Redmine integration is organized and how to run it correctly.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02822	$0.02822
Opus 5.5	$0.01129	$0.01129
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00564	$0.00564
Haiku 4.5	$0.00282	$0.00282

Security

Grade A, and why

redmine-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.

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.
