AGENTS.md

simple-jira-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from timohaa/simple-jira-mcp. It costs 1,622 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an MCP server that connects AI agents to Jira Cloud, a project-tracking service, using a local Python implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to follow the repository’s commands, logging rules, testing requirements, and code-size limits when changing the Jira integration.
Why use it?
It prevents accidental protocol breakage, missed checks, oversized code, and unrelated changes while working on the server.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is timohaa/simple-jira-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on simple-jira-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 simple-jira-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

simple-jira-mcp AGENTS.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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Project

MCP server providing Jira Cloud integration for AI agents via stdio transport. Built with the MCP Python SDK 2.x (MCPServer). See API_REFERENCE.md for tool schemas, error codes, and JQL patterns.

Critical: No stdout

NEVER write to stdout — not print(), not any library default. Stdout is the MCP JSON-RPC transport channel. Any stray output corrupts the protocol and breaks the server silently. Use stderr via the logging module for all diagnostics.

Commands

./check.sh              # All checks (lint + mypy + tests)
./check.sh -l           # Ruff lint only
./check.sh -m           # Mypy only
./check.sh -t           # Tests only
./check.sh -c           # Tests with coverage
./check.sh -f           # Auto-fix lint
./check.sh -a           # Explicitly run all checks
./check.sh -h           # Show help

Run check_thresholds (scopewalker MCP tool) before committing to enforce file <300 / function <100 line limits. get_prop_drilling flags parameters threaded through 3+ functions; find_dead_code (run on the project root with ignore_patterns: ["**/test_*.py", "**/tests/**"]) flags unreferenced symbols and private methods.

Install once (needs Node 22+ and tokei, e.g. brew install tokei): claude mcp add --scope user scopewalker-mcp -- npx -y scopewalker-mcp. Source and docs: https://github.com/timohaa/scopewalker-mcp

Behavior

  • Write the minimum code that solves the problem. Avoid speculative abstractions, unrelated renames, and unrelated cleanup.
  • Run ./check.sh and read a tool's tests to confirm its behavior.
  • Never create _enhanced, _v2, or _new duplicate file variants — edit the original file.
  • Do not bump the version. Leave version in pyproject.toml unchanged and add no dated release heading to CHANGELOG.md, even for a feat or a breaking change. Record user-visible changes under ## [Unreleased]. Cut a release only when the user asks for one, as a separate chore: Release vX.Y.Z commit.

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.
