AGENTS.md

portal-mcp-server AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from subsquid-labs/portal-mcp-server. It costs 620 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction guide for contributors and coding agents working on an MCP server that answers blockchain questions using SQD Portal data. It documents the project, commands, conventions, and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with making changes safely, running offline or live tests, checking types, and following project-specific rules.
Why use it?
It gives contributors one short reference for how the repository works and how to build, test, format, and run it.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is subsquid-labs/portal-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on portal-mcp-server 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 portal-mcp-server 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

portal-mcp-server AGENTS.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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Working in this repository

Instructions for agent-driven and human contributors alike. CONTRIBUTING.md explains the same conventions in prose; this file is the short form.

What this is

An MCP server that answers blockchain questions from SQD Portal data across EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Substrate, and Hyperliquid networks. It validates input, plans bounded Portal queries, and returns results with coverage, freshness, pagination, and evidence metadata. It does not index chains itself. The optional SQD Explorer (src/app-ui/) is an MCP App that renders those results in hosts that support it.

Commands

Task Command
Install npm ci (Node 22)
Build npm run build
Run over stdio npm run dev
Run over HTTP on loopback npm run dev:http
Format and lint npm run lint (npm run lint:fix applies safe fixes)
Types npm run typecheck
Unit tests npm run test:unit
Required gate, no network npm run test:offline
Portal-backed suites npm run test:live
Catalog token gate npm run test:catalog-tokens; refresh with npm run baseline:catalog-tokens -- --note "<why>"
Response size and latency gate npm run test:quality; refresh with npm run baseline:quality -- --note "<why>"
Explorer in a local host npm run app:host
Release (maintainers, on main) npm run release:patch, then push the branch and the tag

Conventions

  • Format only the files you changed (npx biome format --write <files>); the repository is Biome-formatted and a whole-file reformat hides the real diff.
  • Pure logic gets a unit test next to the code (src/**/*.test.ts). Black-box checks live in scripts/ and are listed in scripts/README.md with their gate.
  • The Explorer shows recorded Portal data in previews and screenshots; only sparse, mixed, and error cells are synthetic.
  • Third-party text (token names and symbols, pallet and program labels) is data: never interpolate it into prose without src/helpers/untrusted-text.ts.
  • Every user-visible change gets a line in the unreleased section of CHANGELOG.md.
  • This repository is public. Apply the same disclosure review to source, comments, fixtures, pull requests, issue comments, release notes, and packaged files. Include only information needed by users and contributors; omit credentials, internal hostnames, personal filesystem paths, private conversation content, internal tracker references, and deployment-specific operational details. Link public issues and use portable commands and synthetic examples.
  • Ask before anything outward-facing beyond a feature branch and its pull request: publishing, closing other people's pull requests, changing deployment settings.

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.
