brown

brown is an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode from towardsai/agentic-ai-engineering-course. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, no licence file.

An MCP server for the brown component in an AI engineering course. MCP is a standard way for an AI assistant to access tools provided by another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run and experiment with the brown lesson’s tool server, which is launched through uv and requires an environment variable.
Why use it?
It connects the course lesson’s tools to an assistant that supports MCP, while keeping the server configuration in one place.

Grade A, and why

brown 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What else .mcp.json configures

This page is one entry in a file that holds 2. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

Changes

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.
