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

frontmcp-guides 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.

FrontMCP End-to-End Guides

Complete build walkthroughs and best practices for FrontMCP servers. Each example starts from an empty directory and ends with a deployed, tested server. Every pattern references the specific skill that teaches it.

When to Use This Skill

Must Use

  • Starting a new FrontMCP project from scratch and want a complete walkthrough to follow
  • Learning FrontMCP architecture by building progressively complex real examples
  • Need to see how multiple skills work together in a complete application

Recommended

  • Planning a new project and want to see how similar architectures are structured
  • Onboarding a team member who learns best from complete working examples
  • Reviewing best practices for file organization, naming, and code patterns

Skip When

  • You need to learn one specific component type (use the specific reference, e.g., create-tool under frontmcp-development/references/)
  • Looking for the right reference for a task (use domain routers: frontmcp-development, frontmcp-deployment, etc.)
  • You need CLI/install instructions for the skills system (see frontmcp-skills-usage)

Decision: Use this skill when you want to see how everything fits together. Open individual references under each router's references/ directory when you need focused instruction.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 24+ and npm/yarn installed
  • Familiarity with TypeScript and decorators
  • frontmcp CLI available globally (npm install -g frontmcp)

Steps

  1. Choose an example that matches your project's complexity level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
  2. Work through the Planning Checklist to define your project's scope
  3. Follow the example code and architecture, referencing individual skills for deeper guidance
  4. Verify your implementation using the Verification Checklist at the end of this skill

Planning Checklist

Before writing any code, answer these questions:

1. What does the server do?

  • What tools does it expose? (actions AI clients can call)
  • What resources does it expose? (data AI clients can read)
  • What prompts does it expose? (conversation templates)

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.
