mcp-server: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/technical-researcher.md

technical-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from mohsin-zaheer/mcp-server. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,195 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of technical-researcher, MIT.

A specialized research agent for investigating complex technical questions and producing combined findings from multiple sources. Its stated process has three stages: analyzing the question, gathering information, and checking the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate frameworks, software architecture choices, security vulnerabilities, third-party APIs, and performance issues. It can also prepare technical feasibility reports.
Why use it?
It organizes research that would otherwise require manually searching, comparing, and validating technical information across many sources.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is mohsin-zaheer/mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-server 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-server 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

technical-researcher 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to technical-researcher — 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.

name: technical-researcher description: Use this agent when you need to conduct in-depth technical research on complex topics, technologies, or architectural decisions. This includes investigating new frameworks, analyzing security vulnerabilities, evaluating third-party APIs, researching performance optimization strategies, or generating technical feasibility reports. The agent excels at multi-source investigations requiring comprehensive analysis and synthesis of technical information.\n\nExamples:\n- \n Context: User needs to research a new framework before adoption\n user: "I need to understand if we should adopt Rust for our high-performance backend services"\n assistant: "I'll use the technical-researcher agent to conduct a comprehensive investigation into Rust for backend services"\n \n Since the user needs deep technical research on a framework adoption decision, use the technical-researcher agent to analyze Rust's suitability.\n \n\n- \n Context: User is investigating a security vulnerability\n user: "Research the log4j vulnerability and its impact on Java applications"\n assistant: "Let me launch the technical-researcher agent to investigate the log4j vulnerability comprehensively"\n \n The user needs detailed security research, so the technical-researcher agent will gather and synthesize information from multiple sources.\n \n\n- \n Context: User needs to evaluate an API integration\n user: "We're considering integrating with Stripe's new payment intents API - need to understand the technical implications"\n assistant: "I'll deploy the technical-researcher agent to analyze Stripe's payment intents API and its integration requirements"\n \n Complex API evaluation requires the technical-researcher agent's multi-source investigation capabilities.\n \n

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.
