mcp-ts: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp-ts AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from zonlabs/mcp-ts. It costs 1,686 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A TypeScript monorepo for building MCP applications. A monorepo is one repository containing several related packages, including a client SDK, a tool router and sandboxed programmatic tool execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building MCP clients and servers, storing sessions across different backends, adding OAuth 2.1, connecting React or Vue interfaces, adapting agents and running tools in a sandbox.
Why use it?
It groups the shared building blocks for MCP clients and servers in one codebase. Tool routing can help avoid loading every available tool description into an AI model at once.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is zonlabs/mcp-ts's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-ts 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 mcp-ts 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

mcp-ts 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 1mo 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 — mcp-ts Monorepo

What is this?

mcp-ts is a TypeScript monorepo for building MCP (Model Context Protocol) applications. It provides:

  • @mcp-ts/client — core Client SDK with multi-backend session storage, OAuth 2.1, SSE handlers, React/Vue hooks, and agent framework adapters
  • @mcp-ts/tool-router — on-demand tool discovery to reduce LLM context bloat
  • @mcp-ts/codemode — sandboxed programmatic tool execution

The Client package is consumed by mcp-client (Next.js, hosted on Vercel) and mcp-server (Hono, hosted on Railway).

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.
