setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bryntay/a1-mcp. It costs 45 tokens per session (376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Setup instructions for connecting the A1 Gallery MCP server to Claude Code. A1 Gallery is a design-resource service that requires a free account and browser sign-in.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when installing the plugin, reconnecting an expired account, checking the A1 connection, or diagnosing a 401 account-required response.
Why use it?
They explain authentication, account limits, and how to check that the connection works when tools are unavailable or return an account error.

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.

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

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 3d 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.

What it actually says

The plugin bundles one remote MCP server at https://www.a1.gallery/api/mcp. It needs a free A1 account — anonymous calls return 401 account_required. There is no API key to paste anywhere; sign-in happens over OAuth in the browser.

First connection

  1. Run /mcp in Claude Code.
  2. Pick a1 and choose Authenticate.
  3. A browser tab opens on a1.gallery. Sign in with a magic link or Google.
  4. The tab returns to Claude Code. Run /mcp again — a1 should read connected.

Nothing else to configure. Tell the user to create the free account at https://www.a1.gallery/login if they do not have one.

When a tool returns 401 account_required

The session is signed out or the token expired. Re-run the steps above. This is the expected response for an unauthenticated call, not a fault in the server.

Quotas

Tier Per minute Per day
Free account 20 50
A1 Pro 60 2,000

A daily-limit response arrives as a tool result, not an HTTP error, so read its text and pass the message on. Pro is at https://www.a1.gallery/pricing.

Checking it works

Call get_design_filters. It takes no arguments and returns the taxonomy, so it confirms both the connection and the account in one call.

Changes

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.
