mcp-server-starter: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-server-starter CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from starter-series/mcp-server-starter. It costs 68 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of profilekit-mcp CLAUDE.md, MIT.

A short set of instructions for Claude Code in a starter project for building an MCP server, a service that lets an AI assistant use external tools. It tells the assistant to read AGENTS.md as the main guide for the repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working in the starter-series/mcp-server-starter repository with Claude Code. It helps the assistant follow the project's existing development and release rules.
Why use it?
It prevents project guidance from being duplicated or contradicted across instruction files. The repository's commands, naming rules, release limits, and first-user path stay defined in one place.

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

mcp-server-starter 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to profilekit-mcp CLAUDE.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Agent context

Read AGENTS.md first. Treat it as the source of truth for this repo's commands, invariants, public naming, release constraints, and first-user path.

This file is a thin client adapter. Do not add independent strategy, roadmap, package-name, release, or baseline-scope rules here.

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.
