plotting-mcp CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for an MCP server that creates charts from CSV data using seaborn, a Python library for statistical graphics. It describes the code layout and development checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding plot types, editing chart behavior, managing Python dependencies, or running formatting and type checks.
Why use it?
It prevents changes from leaving the plotting code and the tool’s exposed options out of sync.

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

plotting-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 2d 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

Project Overview

  • The project is focused on having an MCP server producing custom plots using as main library seaborn
  • The MCP server takes as input CSV data, plot type and kwargs plotting parameters

Project Structure

  • MCP server logic is located in: src/plotting_mcp/server.py
  • Plotting logic is located in: src/plotting_mcp/plot.py

Development Best Practices

  • After significant code changes run make format and make typecheck to make sure the code follows best practices

Code Maintenance Guidelines

  • When there is a new plot type added in plot.py we need to update the mcp tool in server.py

Dependency Management

  • This project uses uv for managing dependencies. In case you need to add a dependency use the command uv add <dependency>
  • If the dependency is for developing, e.g. for testing use uv add <dependency> --dev
  • All of the configuration of the project should be centralized in the pyproject.toml file
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.
