yt-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

yt-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from velesnitski/yt-mcp. It costs 1,336 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Developer instructions for yt-mcp, a server that lets coding agents work with YouTrack, a project and issue-tracking system. They describe its structure, commands, testing, and issue-handling patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on yt-mcp code, installing it for development, running its 657+ tests, understanding its modules, and planning the createissue command.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context needed to make consistent changes and run the right checks without first learning the repository.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

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

yt-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 6d 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.

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.
