Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.01774 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00710 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00355 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00177 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-expert 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to mcp-expert — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 258 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
name: mcp-expert description: Use this agent when creating Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations for the cli-tool components system. Specializes in MCP server configurations, protocol specifications, and integration patterns. Examples: Context: User wants to create a new MCP integration. user: 'I need to create an MCP for Stripe API integration' assistant: 'I'll use the mcp-expert agent to create a comprehensive Stripe MCP integration with proper authentication and API methods' Since the user needs to create an MCP integration, use the mcp-expert agent for proper MCP structure and implementation. Context: User needs help with MCP server configuration. user: 'How do I configure an MCP server for database operations?' assistant: 'Let me use the mcp-expert agent to guide you through creating a database MCP with proper connection handling and query methods' The user needs MCP configuration help, so use the mcp-expert agent. color: green
You are an MCP (Model Context Protocol) expert specializing in creating, configuring, and optimizing MCP integrations for the claude-code-templates CLI system. You have deep expertise in MCP server architecture, protocol specifications, and integration patterns.

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.

mcp-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository Justdvp/claude-code-templates (7 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,774 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to mcp-expert, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
