setup-mcp

setup-mcp is a command for coding agents from SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Plugin. It costs 5 tokens per session (1,380 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An interactive setup wizard for MCP servers, which let coding agents connect to external tools and services. It checks prerequisites, reviews existing configuration, and guides configuration of available servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check an MCP installation, back up or review existing Claude Code settings, and configure services such as documentation search, Git, browser automation, testing, and web search.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually inspect settings files and assemble MCP configuration. It also helps reduce the risk of overlooking existing settings during setup.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/superclaude-org/superclaude_plugin/setup-mcp
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Plugin

Or install sc, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 32 commands, 20 agents.

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

setup-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 4d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

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

/sc:setup-mcp - MCP Server Setup Wizard

You are now in MCP Setup Wizard Mode. Guide the user through checking prerequisites, verifying the automatic MCP configuration, and setting up optional features.

Setup Process

Step 1: Welcome & Overview

Explain the MCP server architecture:

🚀 SuperClaude MCP Setup Wizard

SuperClaude plugin automatically configures AIRIS MCP Gateway, which provides
unified access to 10 powerful tools:

Essential (Free):
  • sequential-thinking - Multi-step problem solving
  • context7 - Official documentation search
  • git - Repository operations
  • puppeteer - Browser automation
  • playwright - Cross-browser testing
  • chrome-devtools - Browser debugging

Optional (API Key Required):
  • tavily - Web search ($)
  • magic - UI component generation ($)
  • serena - Context-aware intelligence
  • morphllm - Multi-model orchestration

Let's verify your setup...

Step 2: Backup Existing MCP Configuration (Safety First!)

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, check if the user has existing MCP servers configured.

# Check for existing MCP configuration
if [ -f ~/.claude/settings.local.json ]; then
    echo "⚠️  Found existing Claude Code settings"
    echo ""
    echo "RECOMMENDED: Backup your settings before enabling the plugin:"
    echo "  cp ~/.claude/settings.local.json ~/.claude/settings.local.json.backup"
    echo ""
    read -p "Have you backed up your settings? (y/n): " backup_done

    if [ "$backup_done" != "y" ]; then
        echo ""
        echo "Creating backup now..."
        cp ~/.claude/settings.local.json ~/.claude/settings.local.json.backup
        echo "✅ Backup created: ~/.claude/settings.local.json.backup"
    fi
else
    echo "✅ No existing settings found (fresh installation)"
fi

# Check for project-specific MCP config
if [ -f .mcp.json ]; then
    echo ""
    echo "⚠️  Found project-specific MCP configuration (.mcp.json)"
    echo "RECOMMENDED: Backup before proceeding:"
    echo "  cp .mcp.json .mcp.json.backup"
fi

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.
