mcp-initializer: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-initializer CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Syndicats/mcp-initializer. It costs 381 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for an MCP project initializer. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard for connecting AI clients to tools and project context; this initializer guides users through creating such projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing the initializer’s TypeScript command-line server, its /init-mcp workflow, technology-documentation fetching, custom text or URL ingestion, and project documentation generation.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project’s architecture and requirements when implementing setup conversations, documentation gathering, and generated project files.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is Syndicats/mcp-initializer's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-initializer 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 mcp-initializer 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

mcp-initializer 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 2mo 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

CLAUDE.md

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

Project Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Project Initializer - a command-line MCP server that automates the setup of new AI-powered software projects. The tool acts as a conversational guide through any standard MCP client to set up projects with necessary context, rules, and documentation for AI-assisted development.

Architecture

Core Requirements

  • Language: TypeScript
  • Runtime: Node.js (LTS version)
  • Protocol: Model Context Protocol (MCP) communicating over STDIO
  • Core Dependency: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk TypeScript SDK
  • LLM Interaction: Uses "Prompt Server / Response" pattern (mcp_prompt_request and mcp_llm_response) - no direct LLM API keys

Key Features to Implement

  1. Conversational Project Initialization - Trigger setup workflow via /init-mcp command
  2. Technology-Specific Context Fetching - Download best-practice rules and SDK docs
  3. Custom Documentation Ingestion - Handle URLs and raw text input
  4. LLM-Powered PRD Generation - Generate project documentation using gathered context
  5. Local File System Operations - Create directories and save files to project structure

Development Status

This is a greenfield project - currently contains only planning documentation:

  • docs/prd.md: Complete Product Requirements Document
  • docs/llms-full.txt: MCP client compatibility matrix and examples

Key Design Principles

  • Server must NOT have its own LLM API key
  • Final script should be executable directly from command line
  • Focus on TypeScript/Node.js ecosystem initially
  • Leverage existing MCP protocol patterns for client communication
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.
