In plain words

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

quip-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 8d 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.

Common Development Commands

Build and Development

  • npm run build - Compile TypeScript to JavaScript in dist/
  • npm run dev - Run server in development mode with ts-node
  • npm start - Run the compiled server from dist/

Testing

  • npm test - Run all unit tests with Jest
  • npm run test:watch - Run tests in watch mode during development
  • npm run test:coverage - Generate test coverage reports
  • npm run test:e2e - Run end-to-end tests

Code Quality

  • npm run lint - Run ESLint on TypeScript files
  • npm run lint:fix - Auto-fix linting issues
  • npm run format - Format code with Prettier

Architecture Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Quip spreadsheets that supports both stdio and HTTP transports.

Core Components

Transport Layer (src/server.ts:541-731):

  • Stdio transport for integration with Claude.app and similar tools
  • HTTP transport with Express server for standalone operation
  • SSE (Server-Sent Events) support for streaming responses

Storage Abstraction (src/storage.ts):

  • Local filesystem storage (default)
  • Amazon S3 storage for production deployments
  • Unified interface supporting both storage backends

Quip Integration (src/quipClient.ts, src/mockClient.ts):

  • Real Quip API client for production
  • Mock client for testing/development without API credentials
  • Spreadsheet export via XLSX with HTML fallback

Error Handling (src/errors.ts):

  • Comprehensive error hierarchy (QuipMCPError base class)
  • Specific error types: InvalidParamsError, AuthenticationError, etc.
  • Consistent error codes and messages

Key Design Patterns

Resource Management:

  • Resources use URI schemes: quip://, file://, s3://, s3+https://
  • Resource templates for dynamic resource discovery
  • Caching system for performance (CSV and metadata caches)

Configuration:

  • Environment variables take precedence
  • Command-line arguments override defaults
  • Mock mode for development/testing

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.
