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

Umbraco-CMS-MCP-Dev 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 8d 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.

Umbraco CMS MCP — Repository Conventions

This file is the canonical conventions source for build agents and MCP tooling. The detailed rules live in .rulesync/rules/*.md; this file summarises the build/test/tooling conventions and points at them.

Rule references

  • .rulesync/rules/cursor-mcp.md — MCP development guide (tools, resources, Umbraco API integration)
  • .rulesync/rules/cursor-mcp-testing.md — testing guide (builders, helpers, snapshot testing)
  • .rulesync/rules/cursor-model-context-provider-typescript.md — MCP TypeScript SDK reference
  • .rulesync/rules/cursor-project-context.md — project context and background
  • .rulesync/rules/schema-flattening-addition-for-folders.md — folder schema flattening notes

Project layout

  • MCP tools live at src/umbraco-api/tools/, grouped by entity and REST verb (get/post/put/delete).
  • The Orval-generated Umbraco Management API client lives at src/umbraco-api/api/.
  • The Orval config is src/umbraco-api/orval/umbraco-api.ts (wrapped by the root orval.config.ts).
  • Path aliases: @/umbraco-api/* → src/umbraco-api/api/*; @umb-management-client → src/umbraco-api/umbraco-management-client.ts.

Releasing: version-bearing files

A release bumps the version in exactly these files. Bump all of them, and nothing else:

  • package.json: version
  • package-lock.json: version and packages[""].version
  • server.json: version and packages[0].version
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: metadata.version and plugins[0].version
  • plugins-server/.claude-plugin/plugin.json: version

Check after bumping: git grep -nF "<previous version>" -- . ':!**/__snapshots__/**' should find nothing.

Build / test / tooling

  • npm run compile — tsc type-check (safe to run anytime).
  • npm run build — tsup build.
  • npm run generate — regenerate the Orval client (requires Umbraco running, plus UMBRACO_BASE_URL/UMBRACO_CLIENT_ID/UMBRACO_CLIENT_SECRET in .env — the SDK's target-major transformer reads the instance's version to stamp src/config/umbraco-target.generated.ts, and fails the run if it can't).
  • npm test — integration/unit suite (requires Umbraco running).
  • npm run test:one -- <path-to-test> — run a single test file (--runInBand --forceExit, no path pattern).
  • npm run test:evals — eval tests (requires Umbraco running).
  • npm run test:all — full pass: build + integration (test) + test:evals.
  • npm run start:umbraco — alias of npm run umbraco:start; starts the demo-site Umbraco instance.

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.
