In plain words
What is it for?
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.
Why use it?
They explain how to install, build, lint, format, initialize services, load data, and validate resource requests.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is tyler-technologies-oss/forge-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on forge-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 forge-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

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 3d 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

  1. Server initialization loads CEM data from filesystem
  2. Optimized Resource Listing: Returns streamlined set of 8 core resources plus individual components
  3. Consolidated Resource Reading: Generates markdown documentation with intelligent consolidation
  4. 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.
