In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It tells developers which rules, file structure, registrations, and known data-source issues must be preserved when changing the project.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is xmpuspus/ph-civic-data-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ph-civic-data-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 ph-civic-data-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

ph-civic-data-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 5d 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.

The original v0.1.0 build specification lives in docs/archive/v0.1-build-spec.md. Most of it is now wrong; treat it as provenance, never as instructions. Release history lives in CHANGELOG.md.

Contracts every change must hold

The failure envelope. A list tool returns a real list on success. On upstream failure it returns {results: [], upstream_error: true, caveats: [...]} through utils/envelope.py::failure_envelope. Never return a bare [] from an error path; an agent reads that as "no earthquakes". Composites unwrap with cross_source._unwrap_list.

Never cache an error. Only a success or a genuine negative enters CACHES. A fetch helper raises or returns an un-cached error dict. A parse that yields zero rows on a page that always has rows means drift: raise, never cache-empty. See _fetch_earthquake_list, _fetch_notices, and psa._browse.

A caveats entry carries the real error (ConnectError: ...), never just the exception class name.

A caller mistake is not an outage. The three OpenSTAT catalog tools return validation_error: true for a rejected argument and upstream_error: true only for an upstream failure.

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.
