What is agent-planner-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for AgentPlanner's MCP server and command-line client. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is a way for AI tools to connect to external services; this project also provides a local command-line program and a one-click Claude Desktop package.

Developing or validating AgentPlanner's Node.js MCP server, its local CLI, its HTTP or standard-input transports, its Claude Desktop bundle, and its agent-facing documentation.

They give agents the commands, documentation locations, and testing checks needed to work safely on the server. They also explain how the server can run through local, HTTP, or Claude Desktop setups.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01417	$0.01417
Opus 5.5	$0.00567	$0.00567
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00283	$0.00283
Haiku 4.5	$0.00142	$0.00142

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-planner-mcp 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.

CLAUDE.md

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

The repository root (../CLAUDE.md) describes the broader Talking Agents monorepo. This file is the MCP-server-specific guide.

What this is

agent-planner-mcp is the Model Context Protocol server for AgentPlanner, plus a thin local CLI (agent-planner-mcp <command>) for task-driven workflows. Node.js + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk + Express + axios. License MIT (more permissive than the backend/UI). Published to npm; also packaged as a .mcpb bundle for one-click Claude Desktop install.

Agent-facing documentation lives in SKILL.md (complete reference for LLMs) and AGENT_GUIDE.md (quick reference). Keep these in sync when tool shapes change.

Commands

npm start                       # stdio transport (for Claude Desktop / Code / Cursor)
npm run start:http              # HTTP/SSE transport on PORT (default 3100)
npm run dev                     # nodemon stdio
npm run dev:http                # nodemon HTTP
npm test                        # Jest
npm run validate:mcp-loop       # __tests__/agent-loop-facade.test.js (--runInBand)
node test-tools.js              # ad-hoc tool exerciser
npm run setup                   # interactive wizard (Claude Desktop)
npm run setup-claude-code       # interactive wizard (Claude Code)

# .mcpb bundle (Claude Desktop one-click install)
npm run build:mcpb              # install --omit=dev + pack → agent-planner.mcpb
npm run validate:mcpb           # schema-check manifest.json

Local CLI (thin client, not MCP)

npx agent-planner-mcp login --token <t> --api-url <url> [--plan-id <id>]
npx agent-planner-mcp tasks [--plan-id <id>]
npx agent-planner-mcp next [--plan-id <id>] [--fresh]
npx agent-planner-mcp context --plan-id <id> --node-id <id>
# … plus explicit writeback commands. README.md has the full loop.

Mental model: the AP API is the source of truth; .agentplanner/ files are a regeneratable cache the agent reads. Status changes are explicit writebacks — no live sync.

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.
