tecton-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tecton-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from tecton-ai/tecton-mcp. It costs 3,875 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for developing Tecton features in a code repository. Tecton is a platform for defining and serving machine-learning features, such as customer activity totals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning and implementing Tecton batch, streaming, or real-time feature views, including their data sources, aggregations, and SQL.
Why use it?
It guides the agent through checking examples, existing data definitions, and the exact software reference before changing feature code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

tecton-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 7d 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 Configuration for Tecton Feature Development

This file contains configuration and rules for Claude Code when working with Tecton feature repositories.

Tecton Feature Development Rules

General Feature Creation Guidelines

  • Break down feature implementation into stages:

    1. Fetch and review relevant rules
    2. Search for Tecton examples and API reference
    3. Look at existing feature repository for reusable Entities and Data Sources. If you find good fits, confirm with the user that they want to reuse.
    4. Implement the solution
  • CRITICAL: Before writing or editing feature code:

    • You MUST call mcp_tecton_query_example_code_snippet_index_tool to look for relevant code snippets
    • You MUST then think about all the available Tecton classes that you will use to implement the feature
    • You MUST then call mcp_query_tecton_sdk_reference_tool to look at the exact definition of all the Tecton classes and functions you're planning to use
    • You MUST finally come up with a plan that explains which parameters of BatchFeatureView, StreamFeatureView or RealTimeFeatureView you're planning to use based on the SDK reference

Feature View Selection Rules

  • For aggregations over time windows ≤ 60 minutes, default to StreamFeatureView unless specified otherwise
  • Never combine Attribute and Aggregate features in the same FeatureView
  • Only supported mode values: "pyspark" and "spark_sql" (Rift not supported)

SQL Handling and Data Source References

  • CRITICAL: If a user provides a SQL query for a feature: You MUST NOT translate the SQL logic into another language or API (e.g., PySpark DataFrames, Pandas) unless the user explicitly asks you to 'translate to PySpark' or 'rewrite using PySpark DataFrames'. Stick to SQL - it's ok to translate from say Snowflake SQL to Spark SQL if necessary.
  • Be very thoughtful when you change a customer provided SQL statement. Make sure you don't remove anything that may be relevant to the feature transformation.

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.
