setup-mcp

setup-mcp is a command for Claude Code from solanabr/solana-ai-kit. It costs 8 tokens per session (450 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command that helps configure API keys for MCP servers, which let an agent connect to external tools. It stores the keys in a project’s .env file and lists optional services that can be skipped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up Helius, Colosseum Copilot, or Mistral MCP connections, or when preparing a project’s .env file for those services.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually create or edit the environment file and helps keep secrets out of mcp.json. It also explains which services need keys and which one is keyless but requires a separate command-line program.

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 C, and why

setup-mcp scanned grade C with 2 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.

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

**Note — Surfpool MCP is keyless** (no `.env` entry), but its server (`surfpool mcp`) requires the `surfpool` CLI binary on PATH. Install is the user's responsibility — do not run it for them: `curl -L https://surfpool.r

What it actually says

You are guiding the user through MCP API key setup. All secrets go in .env (never in mcp.json).

Step 1: Ensure .env exists

Check if .env exists in the project root. If not, copy from .env.example:

if [ ! -f ".env" ] && [ -f ".env.example" ]; then
  cp .env.example .env
  echo "Created .env from .env.example"
elif [ ! -f ".env" ]; then
  touch .env
  echo "Created empty .env"
else
  echo "Found existing .env"
fi

Step 2: Configure secrets

For each key below, ask the user to paste a value or say "skip":

  1. HELIUS_API_KEY — Helius RPC + DAS API (get one at https://dev.helius.xyz)
  2. COLOSSEUM_COPILOT_PAT — Colosseum Copilot for startup research (optional, get at https://arena.colosseum.org/copilot)
  3. MISTRAL_API_KEY — QEDGen formal verification (optional, get at https://console.mistral.ai)

For each value provided, write or update the line in .env. Skip means leave it empty.

Note — Surfpool MCP is keyless (no .env entry), but its server (surfpool mcp) requires the surfpool CLI binary on PATH. Install is the user's responsibility — do not run it for them: curl -L https://surfpool.run/install | sh or brew install txtx/taps/surfpool. Verify with command -v surfpool.

Step 3: Summary

Print which keys are configured vs skipped:

MCP secrets (.env):
  HELIUS_API_KEY        [configured / skipped]
  COLOSSEUM_COPILOT_PAT [configured / skipped]
  MISTRAL_API_KEY       [configured / skipped]

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.
