configure-dir-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from agntcy/dir-mcp. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,094 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A chat-based configuration editor for dir-mcp, a directory server that can provide files or folders to an agent. It lets you inspect and change the server address, authentication mode, and other runtime settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view or update dir-mcp settings, including its directory-server address, authentication mode, and other runtime options.
Why use it?
It avoids manually finding the correct configuration file and editing the wrong path. It also keeps configuration changes in one guided workflow.

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

configure-dir-mcp 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Configure dir-mcp

Use this skill to inspect and update the dir-mcp runtime configuration at ~/.config/dir-mcp/config.json (or the path in $DIR_MCP_CONFIG).

1. Find the config file

Resolve the active config path to an absolute path — do not use ~ with your file-read/file-write tools. Those tools open paths literally and do not expand ~, so an edit "to ~/.config/dir-mcp/config.json" can silently create a file named ~ under the current working directory instead of touching the real config. Always resolve first:

echo "${DIR_MCP_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/dir-mcp/config.json}"

Use the printed absolute path (e.g. /Users/alice/.config/dir-mcp/config.json) for every subsequent read or edit in this skill — never the literal ~/... string.

Read it with that absolute path:

cat "${DIR_MCP_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/dir-mcp/config.json}"

If the file does not exist, the npm wrapper creates it with defaults on first run. You can also create it manually — see the template in step 4.

2. Understand the options

Key Default Purpose
OASF_API_VALIDATION_SCHEMA_URL https://schema.oasf.outshift.com OASF schema server used for validation, get_schema, and taxonomy lookups
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SERVER_ADDRESS 0.0.0.0:8888 Address of the AGNTCY Directory server (host:port)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE none Auth mode for the Directory client — see modes below
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_AUTH_TOKEN (empty) Pre-issued bearer token; skips interactive login
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_OIDC_ISSUER (empty) OIDC issuer URL (required for oidc mode)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_OIDC_CLIENT_ID (empty) OIDC client ID (required for oidc mode)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SPIFFE_SOCKET_PATH (empty) SPIFFE Workload API socket path (for x509/jwt modes)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_SPIFFE_TOKEN (empty) Path to SPIFFE token file (for token mode)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_JWT_AUDIENCE (empty) JWT audience claim (for jwt mode)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_TLS_CERT_FILE (empty) Client TLS certificate file (for tls mode)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_TLS_KEY_FILE (empty) Client TLS private key file (for tls mode)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_TLS_CA_FILE (empty) CA certificate for server verification (for tls mode)
DIRECTORY_CLIENT_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY (empty) Set to true to skip TLS certificate verification
DIRECTORY_MCP_PATH (bundled binary) Absolute path to the dir-mcp server binary; overrides the binary bundled in the npm package
DIRECTORY_MCP_VERSION (npm package version) Expected dir-mcp server version; logged at startup for diagnostics
DIRECTORY_DIRCTL_PATH (bundled binary) Absolute path to the dirctl binary; overrides the binary bundled in the npm package
DIRECTORY_DIRCTL_VERSION (empty) Expected dirctl version (e.g. 1.6.3); dirctl-auth warns if the installed version does not match

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.
