setup

setup is a command for Claude Code from unblockingapi/mcp. It costs 12 tokens per session (480 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup command for configuring and checking an UnblockingAPI key and connection. It tests the service and explains what to do when the server is disconnected, the key is missing or invalid, or credits are exhausted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when first installing UnblockingAPI or diagnosing why its web-fetching tools do not work.
Why use it?
It avoids making users guess whether a failure comes from the local connection, credentials, or account credits. It gives only the next required setup step.

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

setup 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Walk the user through getting UnblockingAPI working. Be brief and concrete — they may never have set up an MCP server before. Do not dump all the steps at once; diagnose first, then give them only the step they actually need.

1. Find out where they stand

Call unblock_fetch with url: "https://example.com". One of these happens:

  • It succeeds → they are done. Tell them so, mention that each successful fetch costs 1 credit and failures are free, and show them one thing they can now ask for (see step 3).
  • The tool is missing, or it says sign-in is required → go to step 2.
  • It says out of credits (HTTP 402) → the setup is fine; they need to top up at https://unblockingapi.com/billing.

2. Sign in

The plugin connects to the hosted server at https://mcp.unblockingapi.com/mcp, which signs in with their UnblockingAPI account. There is no key to copy.

Tell them to run /mcp, pick unblockingapi and choose Authenticate. A browser opens on app.unblockingapi.com: they sign in (or sign up — new accounts get 500 free credits with no card) and approve the connection.

Then run unblock_fetch on https://example.com again to confirm, and say plainly whether it worked. If sign-in keeps failing, they can clear it from /mcp and authenticate again.

3. Show them what it is for

Once it works, give them one or two concrete things to try, chosen for what they seem to care about — not a feature list:

  • Reading a page that needs JavaScript or refuses simple requests, with unblock_fetch.
  • Structured JSON instead of HTML: call find_templates with a site they care about, and if a template covers it, fetch with template: set.
  • A page from another country, with location: "de" or similar.

Mention that they can build a template for any site at https://editor.unblockingapi.com.

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.
