hpe-networking-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/mcp-engineer.md

mcp-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from secure-ssid/hpe-networking-mcp. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,324 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent role and guide for building and debugging MCP servers in the HPE Networking project. MCP servers expose tools that an AI agent can call.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add or review MCP tools, fix router and client registration, improve error handling, control response payloads, and split or combine servers.
Why use it?
It points developers to the right server files and project conventions, making tool registration, error handling, routing, and response-size decisions easier to trace.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is secure-ssid/hpe-networking-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hpe-networking-mcp 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 hpe-networking-mcp 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

mcp-engineer 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 6d 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.
