conjure-mcp

conjure-mcp is a command for Claude Code from john-farina/claude-plugins. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,121 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A command that guides you through creating an MCP server, which is a typed connection between an AI tool and an external system or data source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design an MCP server for services such as databases, REST APIs, project-management tools, design tools, or other systems Claude needs to query or call.
Why use it?
It first checks whether an MCP server is the right type of add-on, helping avoid building a live connector when a skill, hook, or agent would fit better.

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 B, and why

conjure-mcp scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 252 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 0: Route the Request

Before building anything, verify an MCP server is the right artifact.

Question If YES → use instead
Does Claude already have access to this data/system via native tools? Skill → run /conjure-skill <name>
Is this a repeatable workflow or checklist, not a live connection? Skill → run /conjure-skill <name>
Should this fire automatically on a tool call event? Hook → run /conjure-hook <description>
Does Claude spawn this with isolated context? Agent → run /conjure-agent <description>
Does this require a live, typed, schema-validated connection to an external system? MCP → continue ✅

MCP signal phrases — if you hear any of these, it's an MCP:

Request sounds like… Actually is…
"connect to / integrate with / access [external system]" MCP ✅
"query our database / hit our REST API / read from Postgres" MCP ✅
"stop copy-pasting from Jira/Linear/Figma/Slack" MCP ✅
"Claude needs to call [external service]" MCP ✅
"hook that fetches from our API" MCP — hooks can't make authenticated external calls reliably
"agent to query the database" MCP — agents use tools; the tool should be an MCP server
"skill to read from Notion" MCP — skills are procedural, not connective

Cost trade-off: Each MCP server with ~10 tools consumes ~10,000 tokens at session start (always). A skill costs ~100 tokens until activated. Only use MCP when the external access is genuinely required.


Phase 0.5: Load User Preferences

Before doing anything else, read both conjure config files if they exist:

cat ~/.claude/conjure-config.md 2>/dev/null
cat .claude/conjure-config.md 2>/dev/null

Follow all instructions found in ## mcp and ## global sections throughout every phase of this command. Project-local instructions (.claude/conjure-config.md) take precedence over global ones when they conflict. If neither file exists, proceed with defaults.

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.
