Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is WisetechySolutions/spotify-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on spotify-mcp-server 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 spotify-mcp-server 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

spotify-mcp-server 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.

Project Overview

Spotify MCP Server — lets Claude create Spotify playlists through natural language. Website at playmcp.dev (Astro 6, Cloudflare Pages).

Commands

npm run build        # Compile TypeScript
npm test             # Run 99 tests (vitest)
npm run dev          # TypeScript watch mode
cd website && npm run build  # Build Astro site

Architecture

├── auth/          # PKCE OAuth, token store, callback server
├── spotify/       # API client, search, playlists, playlist-items
├── tools/         # MCP tool registration + Zod schemas
├── prompts/       # Creative playlist prompt templates

Rules

  • Security first. Defense in depth on everything. Validate inputs, sanitize outputs, never leak tokens in errors.
  • No Spotify data caching. API responses are ephemeral — never persist beyond the current request. This is a compliance requirement.
  • All API responses must go through safeParseJsonResponse. Never use raw response.json().
  • All string inputs must use the safeString Zod refinement. Rejects null bytes and control characters.
  • Test everything. New features need tests. Currently at 99 tests across 9 files.
  • Pin GitHub Actions to SHA hashes. Never use version tags like @v4.
  • Internal docs are gitignored. TODO.md, WEBAPP_PLAN.md, RESEARCH_PROMPTS.md, OUTREACH_DRAFTS.md never get committed.
  • Node 20+ required. Vitest 4 needs it.
  • Commit messages should be descriptive. Include what changed and why.
  • Don't add features without asking. Keep changes focused on what was requested.

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.
