What is setup-mcp-server?

A skill for setting up an MCP server for a website, allowing AI agents to search pages, read content, and browse site information programmatically. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for agents to use external tools and data.

Use it to add Inlay to a website, index the site, and expose page search, page retrieval, page listing, and site metadata tools.

It makes a website’s content available to connected AI agents without requiring them to navigate the site manually.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add cartoonitunes/inlay-skills --skill setup-mcp-server

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cartoonitunes/inlay-skills

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00056	$0.01172
Opus 5.5	$0.00022	$0.00469
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00234
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00117

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-mcp-server scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Setup MCP Server Skill

Set up an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for your website using Inlay. This lets AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and others interact with your site programmatically — searching pages, retrieving content, and using your site's functionality.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI agents connect to external tools and data sources. An MCP server for your website gives AI agents tools like:

get_site_info — Get site metadata and description
search_pages — Search your site's content
get_page_content — Retrieve specific page content
list_pages — Browse available pages

Workflow

Step 1: Sign Up for Inlay

Go to inlay.dev
Create an account
Add your website (enter your domain)

Step 2: Install the Embed Script

Add the Inlay embed script to your site. This enables Inlay to index your content and serve it via MCP.

Next.js (App Router):

// app/layout.tsx
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        {children}
        <Script
          src="https://cdn.inlay.dev/embed.js"
          data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"
          strategy="afterInteractive"
        />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Next.js (Pages Router):

// pages/_app.tsx
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
      <Script
        src="https://cdn.inlay.dev/embed.js"
        data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"
        strategy="afterInteractive"
      />
    </>
  )
}

Astro:

<!-- src/layouts/Base.astro -->
<script src="https://cdn.inlay.dev/embed.js" data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>

Plain HTML:

<script src="https://cdn.inlay.dev/embed.js" data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>

Replace YOUR_SITE_ID with the Site ID from your Inlay dashboard.
