skim — MCP server by JessieJanie/skim402

skim

skim is an MCP server for Claude Code from JessieJanie/skim402. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local MCP server that connects an agent to Skim's web-reading service. It runs with Node and needs a configured Skim API key.

In plain words

What is it for?: Use it to expose the Skim service to an agent through the Model Context Protocol, a standard way for agents to call external tools.
Why use it?: It provides the connection needed for an agent to call Skim rather than requiring the service integration to be built manually.

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the skim plugin — 1 MCP server shipped together

Good fit Use it to expose the Skim service to an agent through the Model Context Protocol, a standard way for agents to call external tools.

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Security

Grade A, and why

skim 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 yesterday.

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 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.
