streamnative-mcp-server CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for StreamNative's MCP server, a program that lets AI agents communicate with Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, and StreamNative Cloud. They describe how to build, test, package, and understand the server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building Docker images, running race-detection tests, checking licenses, and tracing requests through the server.
Why use it?
They give the agent the project context and correct commands, reducing guesswork when changing the code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

streamnative-mcp-server 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.

Architecture Overview

The StreamNative MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol using the mark3labs/mcp-go library to enable AI agents to interact with Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, and StreamNative Cloud resources.

Request Flow

Client Request → MCP Server (pkg/mcp/server.go)
                    ↓
              SSE/stdio transport layer (pkg/cmd/mcp/)
                    ↓
              Tool Handler (from builders)
                    ↓
              Context Functions (pkg/mcp/ctx.go)
                    ↓
              Service Client (Kafka/Pulsar/SNCloud)

Core Components

  1. Server & Sessions (pkg/mcp/server.go)

    • Server struct holds MCPServer, KafkaSession, PulsarSession, and SNCloudSession
    • Sessions provide lazy-initialized clients for each service
    • Context functions (pkg/mcp/ctx.go) inject/retrieve sessions from request context
  2. Tool Builders Framework (pkg/mcp/builders/)

    • ToolBuilder interface: GetName(), GetRequiredFeatures(), BuildTools(), Validate()
    • BaseToolBuilder provides common feature validation logic
    • ToolRegistry manages all tool builders with concurrent-safe registration
    • ToolBuildConfig specifies build parameters (ReadOnly, Features, Options)
    • ToolMetadata describes tool information (Name, Version, Description, Category, Tags)

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.

streamnative-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository streamnative/streamnative-mcp-server (24 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,639 tokens to every session, about $0.0132 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
