What is mcp-stargazing CLAUDE.md?

A set of instructions for working on the mcp-stargazing repository with Claude Code. It documents package management, common commands, project structure, tests, formatting, and security checks.

Use it to install dependencies, run tests, check formatting and linting, perform a security scan, start the server, and understand the repository layout.

It keeps development commands and dependency handling consistent, including the requirement to use uv rather than pip.

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	$0.03375	$0.03375
Opus 5.5	$0.01350	$0.01350
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00675	$0.00675
Haiku 4.5	$0.00337	$0.00337

Security

Grade B, and why

mcp-stargazing CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

- Use `uv run <command>` to run any script or CLI within the project venv

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

See also AGENTS.md for broader agent guidance including tool registration conventions, error handling rules, and CI/CD details.

Package Management

Always use uv — never pip, pip3, or python -m pip. uv is the project's package manager and all commands (install, test, lint, run) use it.

Use uv sync / uv add / uv remove for dependencies
Use uv run <command> to run any script or CLI within the project venv
Use uv --directory <path> run <command> when working from a different project's directory
For the SPF project (stargazing-place-finder), same rules apply — it also uses uv

Quick Commands

Action	Command
Install deps	`uv sync`
Run all tests	`uv run pytest -v tests/`
Run single test file	`uv run pytest tests/test_<name>.py`
Lint + format check	`uv run ruff format --check src/ tests/ && uv run ruff check src/ tests/`
Security scan	`uv run bandit -r src/ -c pyproject.toml --severity-level medium`
Start server (SHTTP)	`uv run python -m src.main --mode shttp --port 3001 --path /shttp`
Start server (SSE)	`uv run python -m src.main --mode sse --port 3001 --path /sse`
Start server (local)	`uv run python -m src.main --mode local`
Download astro data	`uv run python scripts/download_data.py`
Build Docker image	`docker build -t mcp-stargazing .`
Run Docker (dual-service)	`docker run -p 3001:3001 -p 5001:5001 mcp-stargazing`

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.
