raindrop-mcp mcp-inspector.instructions.md

raindrop-mcp mcp-inspector.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from adeze/raindrop-mcp. It costs 371 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using MCP Inspector, a command-line tool for examining servers that follow the Model Context Protocol. It shows how to list available tools, send protocol requests, and inspect traffic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect Node.js MCP servers over standard input/output or HTTP, list their tools, send a ping, and review protocol traffic.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to check whether an MCP server builds, responds, and exposes the tools it should. This makes protocol debugging easier from a terminal or VS Code task.

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

raindrop-mcp mcp-inspector.instructions.md 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.

What it actually says



MCP Inspector CLI Prompt

This prompt guides you to use the MCP Inspector tool in CLI mode for protocol inspection, debugging, and tool listing in a VS Code environment.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you have Node.js and npx installed.
  • Install MCP Inspector: npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --help
  • Build your MCP server (e.g., bun run build or equivalent).

Usage Examples

List Available Tools

Run the following command in your VS Code terminal:

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli node build/index.js --method tools/list

Send a Protocol Request (e.g., ping)

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli node build/index.js --method ping

Debugging and Inspection

  • Use Inspector CLI to wrap your MCP server and inspect protocol traffic.
  • Example for STDIO server:
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js
  • For HTTP server:
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/server.js

Tips

  • Use Inspector CLI flags for advanced filtering, logging, and output formatting. See Inspector documentation for details.
  • Integrate Inspector CLI commands into your VS Code tasks or launch configurations for automated inspection and debugging.
  • Use Vitest or your preferred test runner to automate CLI checks (see tests/inspector.test.ts for examples).

References


This prompt is designed for VS Code users working with MCP protocol servers and the Inspector tool in CLI mode.

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.
