centian CLAUDE.md

centian CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from T4cceptor/centian. It costs 845 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for Centian, a command-line tool that places one management layer in front of multiple MCP servers. MCP servers provide tools that an AI assistant can call.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding work on Centian's proxy, centralized MCP configuration, server enablement, and hooks that run before or after tool requests.
Why use it?
They give the assistant the project's purpose, architecture, configuration location, server-management behavior, and debugging guidance in one reference.

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

centian 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 4d 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.

Centian

Project Name: Centian

Repository: https://github.com/T4cceptor/centian Repo Owner: T4cceptor (User) Repo Name: centian

Description: A CLI tool to proxy MCP servers, collect and configure their configurations at a single place, and enable lifecycle hooks for tool requests and their responses.

Purpose

Centian serves as a centralized proxy for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, providing:

  • MCP Server Proxy: Acts as a proxy layer for multiple MCP servers
  • Centralized Configuration: Collect and manage configurations for all MCP servers in one place
  • Lifecycle Hooks: Enable custom hooks for tool requests and their responses
  • Request/Response Management: Handle and transform MCP tool requests and responses

Architecture

The CLI tool is built in Go and provides a unified interface to interact with multiple MCP servers while offering configuration management and extensibility through lifecycle hooks.

Global Configuration System

Key Features:

  • Config Location: ~/.centian/config.json
  • Auto-initialization: Creates default config if none exists
  • Server Management: Add, remove, enable/disable MCP servers
  • Lifecycle Hooks: Pre/post request hooks and connection events
  • Validation: Built-in config validation
  • Project-based isolation: Optional multi-project layout for tenant separation

Main Components:

  1. GlobalConfig - Root configuration structure with proxy settings and either flat gateways (legacy) or named projects
  2. ProjectConfig - Per-project configuration holding gateways, processors, capabilities, auth, and metadata. Each project gets its own SQLite database, route prefix, and feature flags
  3. MCPServer - Individual server configurations with command, args, environment variables
  4. ProxySettings - Bind address, port, logging, timeouts (truly global settings)
  5. HookSettings - Lifecycle hooks for request/response interception

Config Layouts:

  • Legacy flat: gateways, processors, auth at the top level of GlobalConfig (auto-migrated to a "default" project at runtime via ResolveProjects())
  • Project-based: named ProjectConfig entries under "projects", each with its own gateways, processors, capabilities, and auth

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.
