tba-mcp-server CLAUDE.md

tba-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from withinfocus/tba-mcp-server. It costs 2,463 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a TypeScript server that uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard way for AI tools to access external services. This server provides access to The Blue Alliance, a website with FIRST Robotics Competition data.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide development and testing of API tools, request handlers, the server connection, and its TypeScript build.
Why use it?
They explain where the server starts, how its tools are defined, and how requests are handled, so changes can fit the existing structure.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

tba-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 4d 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 Instructions for TBA MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to The Blue Alliance API for FIRST Robotics Competition data.

Project Overview

  • Language: TypeScript with Node.js
  • Framework: Model Context Protocol SDK
  • Package Manager: pnpm (version pinned in packageManager; settings in pnpm-workspace.yaml)
  • Main Entry: src/index.ts
  • Build Output: dist/
  • Transport: stdio for MCP communication

Project Structure

Source Code Architecture

The codebase is organized into separate modules for maintainability:

  • src/index.ts - Main server entry point

    • Initializes the MCP server
    • Sets up request handlers for ListTools and CallTool
    • Connects to stdio transport
    • Handles error logging and process lifecycle
  • src/tools.ts - Tool definitions

    • Exports the tools array containing all MCP tool definitions
    • Each tool has: name, description, and inputSchema (JSON Schema format)
    • Tool definitions describe what parameters each tool accepts
  • src/handlers.ts - Tool execution handlers

    • Exports handleToolCall(name, args) function
    • Contains a switch statement that routes tool calls to their implementations
    • Each case: validates input, calls TBA API, validates response, returns formatted result
  • src/schemas.ts - Zod validation schemas

    • Input validation schemas: TeamKeySchema, YearSchema, EventKeySchema
    • API response schemas: TeamSchema, EventSchema, MatchSchema, etc.
    • All schemas use Zod for runtime type validation
  • src/utils.ts - Utility functions

    • log() - MCP-aware logging function
    • getApiKey() - Retrieves and validates TBA_API_KEY environment variable
    • makeApiRequest() - Makes HTTP requests to TBA API with proper headers

Test Architecture

Tests are organized to mirror the source structure:

  • tests/schemas.spec.ts - Unit tests for all Zod schemas
  • tests/utils.spec.ts - Unit tests for utility functions
  • tests/integration/*.spec.ts - Playwright integration tests for MCP protocol compliance

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.
