Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00176 | $0.03767 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00088 | $0.01884 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00753 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00377 |
Grade A, and why
frontmcp-setup 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 2d 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 Setup Router
Entry point for project setup and scaffolding. This skill helps you find the right setup guide based on your project needs — from initial scaffolding to storage backends, project structure, and multi-app composition.
When to Use This Skill
Must Use
- Starting a new FrontMCP project from scratch and need to choose between standalone vs Nx monorepo
- Setting up storage backends (Redis, SQLite) for session or state management
- Organizing an existing project and need canonical directory layout guidance
Recommended
- Onboarding to the FrontMCP project structure and naming conventions
- Setting up multi-app composition within a single server
- Understanding the skills system and how to browse, install, and manage skills
Skip When
- You need to build specific components like tools or resources (see
frontmcp-development) - You need to configure transport, auth, or throttling (see
frontmcp-config) - You need to deploy or build for a target platform (see
frontmcp-deployment)
Decision: Use this skill when you need to CREATE or ORGANIZE a project. Use other routers when you need to build, configure, deploy, or test.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 24+ and npm/yarn installed
frontmcpCLI available globally (npm install -g frontmcp)
Steps
- Use the Scenario Routing Table below to find the right setup guide for your task
- Scaffold your project with
frontmcp create(standalone) orfrontmcp create --nx(monorepo) - Configure storage and project structure per the relevant reference files
- Follow the Recommended Reading Order for a complete setup walkthrough

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.
- 2d ago First seen · 221 lines · 176 tokens per session scan A 237a6f5dc839
frontmcp-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentfront/frontmcp (147 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 176 tokens to every session and 3,767 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
