toolhive-studio: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

toolhive-studio CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from stacklok/toolhive-studio. It costs 1,205 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository guidance for ToolHive Studio, an Electron desktop app for managing MCP servers. It documents the project, required tools, development commands, and generated code that must not be edited by hand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing dependencies, starting the app, checking types, linting, formatting, running tests, running end-to-end tests, finding unused code, or regenerating the API client.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project context and exact checks to run, reducing setup mistakes and changes that conflict with generated files or version requirements.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is stacklok/toolhive-studio's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on toolhive-studio 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 toolhive-studio 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

toolhive-studio 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 2mo 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.

Project Overview

ToolHive Studio is an Electron desktop application for managing MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Built with React, TypeScript, and Vite. The Electron app bundles the ToolHive CLI (thv) binary.

Build and Development Commands

pnpm install              # Install dependencies
pnpm run start            # Start dev server with hot reload
pnpm run lint             # Run ESLint
pnpm run type-check       # TypeScript checking (both app and node configs)
pnpm run format           # Format with Prettier
pnpm run test:nonInteractive  # Run unit tests once
pnpm run test             # Run unit tests in watch mode
pnpm run test:coverage    # Unit tests with coverage
pnpm run e2e              # Package + run Playwright e2e tests
pnpm run knip             # Detect unused code
pnpm run generate-client  # Fetch OpenAPI spec + regenerate API client

Husky/lint-staged automatically run lint + format on staged .ts/.tsx files. Run pnpm run type-check manually before committing — it is not covered by the hook.

Environment Requirements

  • Node.js >=24 <25 (use nvm use — .nvmrc is present)
  • pnpm package manager
  • Docker daemon must be running (required by ToolHive)

Common Gotchas

  • Docker must be running before pnpm run start — ToolHive manages containers, so the daemon is required even in dev
  • Node version mismatch: wrong Node version can break other native modules. Always nvm use first
  • Stale generated types: if type errors reference API types, run pnpm run generate-client to refresh
  • Electron test runner: unit tests run through Electron (vitest:electron), not plain Node — required for native module compatibility
  • All commands from root: always run pnpm commands from the repository root, not from subdirectories

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.
