mcpcodeserver AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for mcpcodeserver, an MCP proxy that lets language models generate and run TypeScript code calling several tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing mcpcodeserver, especially its server, child-server connections, TypeScript code generation, or sandboxed execution.
Why use it?
They explain the project's architecture and its code-generation and sandboxing approach so changes fit the existing system.

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

mcpcodeserver AGENTS.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 2d 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.

AGENTS.md - mcpcodeserver Project Structure

This document provides comprehensive guidance for Claude Code (claude.ai/code) and other AI agents when working with this codebase. It covers project structure, implementation details, development workflows, and testing strategies.

Project Overview

mcpcodeserver is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) proxy server that transforms tool calling into code generation. It connects to child MCP servers as a client, discovers their tools, and exposes two meta-tools that allow LLMs to generate and execute TypeScript code that calls those tools.

Key Innovation

Instead of the traditional pattern:

LLM → Tool Call 1 → LLM → Tool Call 2 → LLM → Tool Call 3 → LLM

This enables:

LLM → Generate Code → Execute Code (calls Tool 1, 2, 3 internally) → Result

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.
