django-rest-framework-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

django-rest-framework-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from zacharypodbela/django-rest-framework-mcp. It costs 394 tokens per session, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Project instructions for django-rest-framework-mcp, a Python library that exposes Django REST Framework APIs as MCP servers. Django REST Framework is a toolkit for building web APIs in Python, and MCP connects those APIs to AI tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or maintaining this library, especially when changing its code, documentation, or integrations with Django REST Framework and MCP.
Why use it?
They tell coding agents where to find the important project guidance and require code changes to be checked with formatting, linting, type checking, and tests.

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

django-rest-framework-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 10d 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.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is django-rest-framework-mcp, a Python library that enables developers to expose Django REST Framework APIs as MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

In This Directory

Refer to @CONTRIBUTING.md for the most important information on how to develop new functionality, which you will be doing a lot. IMPORTANT: YOU MUST ALWAYS be sure to run the formatter, linter, typechecking, and ensure the full test suite passes (Steps 2 and 4 in that doc) after making a code change!! Do not ever say you are done with a task without having done this cleanup.

Refer to /README.md for user-facing guide to library.

The repository includes offline documentation in /external-docs:

  • Django REST Framework API reference
  • MCP protocol specification

Full source code of select important dependencies is available in /source-code-of-dependencies for deep integration reference. You should never write any code in these files, since this code is not actually running. It's there for you to read and understand:

  • encode-django-rest-framework: Complete Django REST Framework source code for understanding ViewSet patterns, serializer implementations, request/response handling, etc.

The /djangorestframework_mcp directory contains the code for django-rest-framework-mcp (the library we're building!).

The /tests directory contains all tests (unit and integration). Tests use pytest with Django configuration in conftest.py.

The /demo directory is a standalone Django app that can be used to manually test the MCP Server locally.

The /internal-docs directory contains lower-level documentation about the implementation, strategy, or goals of the django-rest-framework-mcp project. See @internal-docs/CLAUDE.md for full list of resources.

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.
