Repository instructions for a Dynalist MCP server. Dynalist is an online outliner for organizing documents and lists, and MCP lets AI assistants work with external services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running, testing, linting, and documenting the server, while safely reading, writing, searching, and organizing Dynalist documents.
Why use it?
They explain how to run checks and warn that the integration can change or delete live Dynalist data.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is wawworld/dynalist-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on dynalist-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 dynalist-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

dynalist-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dynalist MCP Server

Other agent prompt files (e.g. CLAUDE.md) are symlinks to AGENTS.md. All edits should be made in AGENTS.md.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates Dynalist.io with Claude and other AI assistants. Allows reading, writing, searching, and organizing Dynalist documents programmatically.

Setup

No build step. Bun runs TypeScript natively.

bun install          # Install dependencies
bun run start        # Run the MCP server

Warning: MCP Inspector and MCP clients (e.g. Claude Code) connect to a live Dynalist account and can modify and delete data. Make sure your DYNALIST_API_TOKEN points to a test account, not your real one. If you are unsure, list all documents and confirm they look like a test account's documents, not real ones.

IMPORTANT: After making ANY code changes, run bun run check.

bun run check        # Typecheck + lint + tests + generate docs

This is mandatory before committing. Under the hood, check runs four steps in order:

  1. bun run typecheck (tsc --noEmit).
  2. bun run lint (ESLint).
  3. bun test (full test suite against dummy server).
  4. bun run generate-docs (regenerate docs/tools.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/api-coverage.md, docs/instructions.md from source).

If any step fails, do not commit. Fix the issue first.

Individual steps if needed during development:

bun run typecheck    # Just tsc --noEmit
bun run lint         # Just ESLint
bun test             # Just the test suite
bun test --watch     # Watch mode for development
bun run generate-docs # Just regenerate docs

Tests run against a dummy Dynalist server (in-memory) via the real MCP protocol. Test files are in src/tests/tools/.

Development workflow

  1. Make changes.
  2. Run bun run check to verify everything passes.

Updating package.json

package.json is the single source of truth for project metadata. Keep it in sync when: adding or removing dependencies, adding new scripts, changing the project description, or bumping the version.

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.
