threadctx-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

threadctx-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from threadctx-dev/threadctx-mcp. It costs 201 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of threadctx-mcp AGENTS.md, MIT.

Instructions for using threadctx, a local shared-memory server for AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Cursor. It describes when to search team memory and when to save useful decisions or fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before substantial work to query prior context, and after non-obvious fixes or decisions to store information for future tasks.
Why use it?
It helps an agent find earlier project knowledge and record discoveries so teammates do not have to repeat the same investigation.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

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

threadctx-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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to threadctx-mcp AGENTS.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Team memory (threadctx)

  • Before starting any non-trivial task, call memory_query with a short description of what you are about to do. Check for prior decisions, fixes, and gotchas on this repo before writing code — not after.
  • After resolving a non-obvious bug, making an architectural decision, or learning something that would save a teammate time, call memory_write to save it. Write it so a future reader has full context.
  • If the memory_query / memory_write tools are not available in this session: this repo uses threadctx for shared team memory, but it is not connected on this machine yet. Suggest the user run npx threadctx-mcp join (one command, ~30 seconds), then restart the session.
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.
