xenarch-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

xenarch-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from xenarch-ai/xenarch-mcp. It costs 445 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for MCP servers that let AI agents discover and pay for online content, while publishers manage prices and earnings. MCP is a standard way for agents to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building, testing, and publishing the agent or publisher packages in a TypeScript monorepo, a repository containing multiple related packages.
Why use it?
It explains how the agent and publisher sides are organized and how they communicate with the Xenarch service.

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

xenarch-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 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.

What it actually says

xenarch-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for Xenarch. Lets AI agents discover and pay for content, and lets publishers manage their pricing.

Structure

Monorepo with three packages:

packages/
  agent/       — MCP server for AI agents (discover content, make payments)
  publisher/   — MCP server for publishers (manage pricing, view earnings)
  shared/      — Shared types and utilities

Stack

  • TypeScript, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • Package manager: npm (workspaces)

Commands

  • Build: npm run build
  • Test: npm test
  • Publish agent: npm publish --workspace packages/agent
  • Publish publisher: npm publish --workspace packages/publisher

Design Principle

These are thin API clients to the xenarch.dev backend. No business logic lives here — just MCP tool definitions that call the platform API.

Workflow

See root ../CLAUDE.md for branching, PR, and commit conventions.

First Run Check

On first interaction with a contributor, verify git hooks are set up by checking git config core.hooksPath. If it doesn't return .githooks, tell the contributor:

"This project requires git hooks for commit message enforcement. Can I run git config core.hooksPath .githooks to enable them?"

Do not proceed with any code changes until hooks are confirmed active.

Architecture

See ../Information/design/mcp-servers.md for MCP server design.

Dev workflow & prod deploy baton

Follow the canonical workspace workflow in ../Information/workflow.md (Retasc issue → claim → worktree → PR → deploy → validate on prod → merge-commit, never squash).

Parallel sessions: before any kamal deploy of platform or dashboard, claim the per-service deploy baton in Retasc issue XEN-524 (via its append-only CLAIM/RELEASE comment log) and merge main into your branch first — one session validates on a given prod service at a time. See ../Information/workflow.md → "Parallel sessions — prod deploy baton".

Changes

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.
