api-config

api-config is a skill for Claude Code from cyanheads/brapi-mcp-server. It costs 43 tokens per session (7,251 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of api-config, Apache-2.0.

A reference for configuring the core framework and server-specific settings in @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core. It explains environment variables, defaults, priority rules, validation, and the separate configuration layers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining or troubleshooting server configuration, environment variables, Zod validation, framework identity settings, or lazy configuration parsing.
Why use it?
It prevents framework settings from being mixed with application-specific settings and makes it clearer which value wins when several configuration sources are present.

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

api-config 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 310 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Configuration has two layers: core config (managed by the framework, env-driven) and server config (your own Zod schema for domain-specific env vars). Never merge them.

Import: AppConfig, config, parseConfig, resetConfig, ConfigSchema from @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/config.


Core config

Managed by @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core. Validated via Zod from environment variables. Uses a lazy proxy — parsing is deferred until the first property read.

Priority (highest to lowest):

  1. name/version/title/websiteUrl/description/icons options passed to createApp() or createWorkerHandler()
  2. Environment variables
  3. sessionMode.default passed to createApp() — a default, so it sits below the env var it seeds, unlike the identity options above
  4. package.json fields

Where package.json is read from: the application root — the nearest package.json at or above the process entry module (process.argv[1]), which is the served package on every launch path (npx, .mcpb, a client config naming dist/index.js), none of which run from the package root. The launching client's working directory is never the anchor: a stdio client starts the server from wherever it happens to be, so reading identity from there makes a server report a foreign project's name and version. When the entry module is a tool installed under a node_modules tree and the process runs from the directory owning that tree — a test runner is the usual case — the nearest manifest at or above the working directory wins instead. That also covers a workspace monorepo, where the runner is hoisted to the repo root while the process runs from a package directory: an owner that is a strict ancestor of the working directory qualifies only when it declares a workspace (a workspaces field in its manifest, or a pnpm-workspace.yaml beside it), which is what keeps a cache prefix or a plain project root — equally ancestors of a working directory inside them — from overriding an installed package's own identity. The owner is the outermost node_modules boundary, so a transitively-installed runner and a pnpm isolated layout resolve the same way. With no manifest reachable, the framework's own identity is the fallback.

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.

api-config is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyanheads/brapi-mcp-server (4 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 7,251 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to api-config, differing in 5 lines, and is treated as a copy.
