qa-cluster-bringup

qa-cluster-bringup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Agent-Hellboy/mcp-runtime. It costs 130 tokens per session (3,126 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for creating or recovering a real Kind contributor cluster for MCP Runtime quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and push images, install the operator and Sentinel stack, deploy a sample MCP server, configure access, and verify a real tool call.
Why use it?
It prepares the complete test environment so end-to-end checks can exercise real services and ingress instead of only running unit tests.

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 B, and why

qa-cluster-bringup scanned grade B with 2 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 4d 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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf /tmp/go-example-mcp-manifests

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

QA — Cluster bring-up (real Kind contributor flow)

Overview

This skill provisions or recovers the real contributor cluster described in docs/getting-started.md#3-contributor-test-mode-cluster. It is the entry point for every other qa-e2e-* skill. It is not a unit-test skill — it boots a Kind cluster, builds and pushes runtime images, installs the operator and Sentinel stack, deploys the bundled Go MCP server, applies a working grant + session, and exits only after a real MCP tools/call succeeds through Traefik.

Regression evidence contract: this skill is not successful until it records a live cluster context, image/build inputs, rollout health, and a real MCP tools/call result through the public ingress path. If any live gate cannot run, report blocked with the failing command; do not downgrade to unit tests or static checks.

Default policy: reuse if present, create if missing. Never tear down an existing kind-mcp-runtime cluster without explicit user confirmation — contributors may have in-flight work on it.

Step 1 — Decide cluster mode

State the mode in the report.

  • reuse (default if kind-mcp-runtime cluster exists and kubectl --context kind-mcp-runtime get nodes succeeds). Skip Kind creation; re-run bootstrap and cluster doctor only.
  • create (no kind-mcp-runtime context, or user asked for a clean cluster). Full path: Kind create → build → setup → deploy demo → grant.
  • rebuild-from-broken (cluster exists but cluster doctor fails). Try targeted repair first (rollout restart, re-apply pipeline deploy); only recreate with the user's explicit ok.

Detect with:

kind get clusters | grep -qx mcp-runtime && echo "reuse" || echo "create"
kubectl config get-contexts -o name | grep -qx kind-mcp-runtime || echo "no-context"

Step 2 — Host preflight

Run from repo root. Missing tools become recorded blockers, not silent skips.

command -v docker kind kubectl curl jq python3 go
docker info >/dev/null
STRICT_DEPS_CHECK=1 make deps-check

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.

qa-cluster-bringup is a skill published in the GitHub repository Agent-Hellboy/mcp-runtime (5 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 3,126 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
