3dslicer-claude-bridge: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

3dslicer-claude-bridge CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from zhangreling02-ai/3dslicer-claude-bridge. It costs 2,053 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, working with a bridge to 3D Slicer, a medical-image analysis application. It documents the project, dependencies, commands, tools, resources, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a reference when developing, testing, or maintaining the Slicer MCP server and its Python dependencies.
Why use it?
It gives the coding assistant a shared description of how the repository works and how to test changes, including tests that need a running Slicer instance.

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

3dslicer-claude-bridge CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- Unit tests mock `requests.get/post` and `slicer_client.get_client()` — **no running Slicer needed**.

Project Overview

MCP server bridging Claude Code to 3D Slicer for AI-assisted medical image analysis. Uses FastMCP with stdio transport. The server exposes 12 tools and 3 resources over MCP/stdio, communicating with Slicer's WebServer extension over HTTP.

Entry point: slicer-mcpslicer_mcp:main (in server.py).

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.
