Why use it?
They give contributors a shared reference for changing the project safely while respecting API limits and its existing architecture.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is Sora-bluesky/building-standards-act-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on building-standards-act-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 building-standards-act-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

building-standards-act-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 18d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

building-standards-act-mcp

Japanese building regulations MCP server. Fetches law text from e-Gov API v2 in real-time to prevent AI hallucination in building permit reviews.

Commands

npm run build    # TypeScript compile
npm run lint     # tsc --noEmit
npm test         # vitest run

Architecture

  • Tool pattern: src/tools/xxx.ts exports registerXxxTool(server), registered in src/server.ts (12 tools). Tools use server.registerTool() with title, read-only annotations, and outputSchema + structuredContent where the result is structured
  • Lib pattern: Business logic lives in src/lib/; tools handle only formatting + error wrapping via wrapToolHandler
  • Law resolver: src/lib/law-resolver.ts — abbreviation expansion + e-Gov API search for dynamic law_id resolution
  • Alias map: src/data/law-aliases.ts — 116 laws with title, abbrev, group
  • Error handling: src/lib/tool-helpers.ts — centralized error sanitization + audit logging for all tools
  • Test pattern: vi.mock() for egov-client/egov-parser, mockServer.registerTool to capture handlers

API Constraints

Endpoint Cache TTL Note
/api/2/laws 30min Law title search
/api/2/law_data/{id} 24h Full law text (get_full_law, supplementary provisions, appended tables)
/api/2/law_data/{id}?elm= 24h Single article (get_law and friends); cache key is law id + elm
/api/2/keyword 30min Article full-text search (search_articles)
/api/2/law_revisions/{id} 1h Revision history
  • Rate limit: 200ms between concurrent API calls (5 workers), configurable via BUILDING_LAW_RATE_LIMIT_MS / BUILDING_LAW_CONCURRENCY
  • e-Gov API repeal_status returns "None" (capital N) — always use case-insensitive comparison
  • Anthropic MCP proxy has ~15-25s timeout — batch operations must use mapWithConcurrency

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.
