debug-mcp-agent

debug-mcp-agent is a plugin for Claude Code from sailingnaturali/claude-skills. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill it bundles cost 70 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A debugging add-on for MCP agents, which are AI agents connected to external tools or services.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating failures and verifying the real behavior of MCP connections and tool-backed agents.
Why use it?
It helps check what the connected tools actually do instead of relying only on the agent's own explanation of its setup or behavior.

Security

Grade A, and why

debug-mcp-agent 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 5d 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 installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 70 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
