Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# trace-mcp Development Guide

## What this project is

trace-mcp is a framework-aware code intelligence MCP server. It indexes source code into a dependency graph with full-text search, understanding 88 framework integrations across 81 languages. It exposes MCP tools for navigation, impact analysis, and framework-specific queries.

## Agent Behavior — read before every task

These rules override tool routing and workflow checklists when in conflict.

### No flattery, no filler
Skip openers: "Great question", "You're absolutely right", "Excellent idea", "I'd be happy to", "Absolutely!". Start the response with the answer or the action. No ceremonial closings.

### Disagree when the premise is wrong
If the user's request rests on a false assumption, say so before doing the work. Agreeing with wrong premises to be polite is worse than pushback. Example: user asks to optimize a function that's not on the hot path — say that, then ask whether to proceed anyway.

### Never fabricate
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nikolai-vysotskyi/trace-mcp/CLAUDE.md@sha256:50d72f6b5051f66c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.dfa2231, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
