What is catalyst-zoho-mcp?

A guide for managing Zoho Catalyst infrastructure through MCP tools and natural-language requests. Catalyst is Zoho's platform for services such as tables, file buckets, and caching.

Use it to check Catalyst MCP connectivity, set up an MCP server, and manage Catalyst tables, storage buckets, and cache.

It prevents work from proceeding when the required MCP connection is missing and explains the available setup paths.

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 catalystbyzoho/claude-plugin --skill catalyst-zoho-mcp

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/catalystbyzoho/claude-plugin

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install claude-plugin, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 16 skills, 1 command, 1 hook, 1 MCP server.

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	$0.00116	$0.01172
Opus 5	$0.00058	$0.00586
Sonnet 5	$0.00023	$0.00234
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00117

Security

Grade A, and why

catalyst-zoho-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 10d 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 — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

How It Works

Check if MCP is connected — Look for the ZohoMCP_* meta-tools (ZohoMCP_getSchema, ZohoMCP_executeTool, ZohoMCP_listTools, ZohoMCP_getFeatures) in your tool list. Their presence is the connectivity signal. The CatalystbyZoho_* names are not shown as tools — they are tool_name values passed to ZohoMCP_executeTool.
⛔ MCP NOT connected — HARD STOP. Do NOT write any code, create any files, or call any SDK. Ask the user which setup path they prefer, then load references/zoho-mcp.md and follow only that path. Do not proceed to step 3 until the ZohoMCP_* meta-tools are present in the tool list (this is the "MCP connected" signal — the CatalystbyZoho_* names never appear as tools).

To work with Catalyst via MCP, choose your setup path:

Option A — Global MCP Server (recommended)

Add your DC-specific URL to your AI client config, authorize once via browser, done. No console needed. Pick your DC's URL from the table in references/zoho-mcp.md (setup) — or references/dc-switching.md to change DCs later.

Option B — Personal MCP Server (custom/team setup) Create your own server at mcp.zoho.com, select tools, get a personal URL with a token embedded.

Which would you prefer?

DC switch request? — If the user asks to switch data centers (e.g. "connect to IN DC", "switch to EU", "logout of MCP server"), load references/dc-switching.md and follow it. Do not use zoho-mcp.md for this.
Pre-flight sequence — Once per session, before your first MCP tool call, follow the single canonical pre-flight in ../catalyst-basics/references/preflight.md: read org (projects[].env[].id) and project (projects[].id) from .catalystrc and confirm parity with MCP via CatalystbyZoho_Get_Project_By_Id, or resolve via List_All_Organizations → List_All_Projects when .catalystrc is absent. Once it passes, trust the context for the rest of the session — do not re-verify before every call.
Load references/zoho-mcp.md — for the full tool catalog, execution flow, and common error fixes.
If the query involves DataStore (create table, add columns, query data) — also load references/mcp-datastore.md.
Answer — Invoke the appropriate CatalystbyZoho_* operation via ZohoMCP_executeTool (passing its name as the tool_name argument; fetch its schema first with ZohoMCP_getSchema). Show the user which operation was called and what it returned.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
