What is forge-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for forge-mcp, a TypeScript server that serves component documentation and related resources.

Use them when developing forge-mcp, especially when working with its CEM data, resource listings, documentation generation, filtered tools, or TypeScript build and formatting commands.

They explain how to install, build, lint, format, initialize services, load data, and validate resource requests.

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	$0.00524	$0.00524
Opus 5.5	$0.00210	$0.00210
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00105	$0.00105
Haiku 4.5	$0.00052	$0.00052

Security

Grade A, and why

forge-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.

Commands

Development Workflow

pnpm install - Install dependencies
pnpm run build - Compile TypeScript to dist/ and bundle manifests

Code Quality

pnpm run lint - Run ESLint to check code quality
pnpm run format - Format code with Prettier
pnpm run format:check - Check if code is properly formatted

Testing

pnpm test - Run all tests
pnpm test:watch - Run tests in watch mode
pnpm test:coverage - Run tests with coverage report

Versioning & Release

When releasing a new version, update the version number in all three files:

package.json
plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json

Data Flow

Server initialization loads CEM data from filesystem
Optimized Resource Listing: Returns streamlined set of 8 core resources plus individual components
Consolidated Resource Reading: Generates markdown documentation with intelligent consolidation
Tool-Based Granular Access: Tools provide filtered access to specific sections when needed

Key Patterns

Singleton Services: All services (ResourceManager, CEMLoader, TemplateEngine) use singleton pattern
Async Initialization: ResourceManager.initialize() must be called before use
URI Validation: All resource URIs validated before processing

TypeScript Configuration

ES modules ("type": "module" in package.json)
Compiled output goes to dist/
Uses .js extensions in imports for ES module compatibility

Resource Templates

Templates are located in the /templates/ directory, and written in markdown with optional Handlebars syntax.

Guidelines for Claude

When suggesting code changes or additions, please adhere to the following guidelines:

DO NOT run the debug command to test changes, only run the build command.
Always use pnpm to run commands. DO NOT use npm or pntml
DO NOT generate fallback content for tools unless instructed otherwise.
ALWAYS run pnpm format before finalizing changes to ensure consistent formatting.
When renaming tools or resources, ensure all references are updated accordingly.
Avoid introducing new dependencies unless absolutely necessary.
Avoid rendering markdown directly in the code unless its small snippets. Prefer templates instead.

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.
