mcp

mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Arvo-AI/aurora. It costs 27 tokens per session (640 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for connecting an AI assistant to customer-provided MCP servers. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, lets an assistant discover and call tools exposed by another system.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for finding relevant tools on registered servers and calling them to inspect telemetry, configuration, or other connected-system data.
Why use it?
It provides access to systems that the assistant does not already connect to, while encouraging narrow searches instead of dumping every available tool.

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

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 7d 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.

Custom MCP Servers

Overview

Your organisation has registered one or more of its own MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. These expose systems Aurora has no built-in connector for, so they are often the ONLY way to see telemetry or configuration for those systems. Treat them as first-class investigation sources, not a last resort.

Their individual tools are NOT listed in your prompt — there can be hundreds. You reach them through two tools: mcp_list_tools to discover, then mcp_call_tool to invoke.

Connected servers

{mcp_servers_section}

Instructions

  1. Narrow, do not dump. mcp_list_tools() with no arguments gives the server list and counts. mcp_list_tools(query="...") searches across every server at once — prefer this when you do not know which server holds what you need, because it is far smaller than listing a whole server. mcp_list_tools(server="...") lists one server's tools.
  2. Listings show args as name:type, with ? meaning optional. That is usually enough to build the call. When a tool's arguments are complex or you need the exact schema, ask for the one tool: mcp_list_tools(server="...", tool="...") returns its full inputSchema.
  3. Call with exact names. Pass the server and tool strings from discovery verbatim to mcp_call_tool. Guessing a name wastes a turn; the call is refused with the server list. A missing required argument comes back naming it, along with the schema.
  4. Prefer a specific tool over a broad one. If a server offers both get_zone and list_zones, fetch the single record you need rather than listing everything.
  5. Report which server answered. When a finding comes from a custom MCP server, name the server label in your conclusion so a human can verify it against the right system.
  6. A failure is information. If a tool returns a connection error, say so plainly and move on to another source. Do not retry the same call repeatedly — the server may be unreachable from Aurora's network, which is a real finding worth reporting.
  7. Background RCA is allow-only. Confirm tools are omitted from discovery and cannot be called when no user is present to approve them — plan around allow tools only.

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.

mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository Arvo-AI/aurora (434 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 640 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-09.
