api-config

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

A configuration reference for applications built with the @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core framework, covering framework settings, environment variables, and server-specific validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining environment-variable tables, building a server configuration schema with Zod, or handling configuration parsing in Cloudflare Workers.
Why use it?
It explains where configuration values come from, which value takes priority, and how to validate a server's own settings without mixing them with framework settings.

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 12d 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.
