Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00108 | $0.00872 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00054 | $0.00436 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00174 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00087 |
Grade A, and why
test-in-serum 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 11d 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.

Test a serum-mcp preset before asking the user to load it
This project's own hard-won lesson (see docs/PARAMETER_SCHEMA.md and
CONTRIBUTING.md): unit tests and round-trip checks are not sufficient
to prove a generated preset works. The first fully-tested preset this
project shipped still crashed FL Studio ~2 seconds after being selected,
from a CBOR wire-type mismatch no amount of self-consistent round-tripping
could catch. That specific failure class is now automatable; whether the
preset actually sounds right, or loads without some other real-Serum-only
issue, is not -- that part still needs the user.
Steps
-
Run the automated scan on every preset file involved:
uv run python scripts/check_preset.py "<path-to-preset>" ["<path-to-preset-2>" ...]If mid-session code changes to
src/serum_mcp/haven't been picked up by a normaluv runyet (e.g. the entry-point.exeis locked by a connected MCP server process, a known Windows gotcha this session hit repeatedly), useuv run --no-sync python scripts/check_preset.py ...instead. -
If it reports FAIL (a CBOR wire-type issue): stop -- do not tell the user to load the file. This means a real bug slipped past
preset/validator.py's normalization. Go fixpreset/mapping.py(or wherever the offending value was written), rerun the scan, and only proceed once it's clean. This is a hard gate, not a warning to note and move past. -
If it reports OK: summarize the preset's key sections (oscillators, filters, envelope shape, FX chain, mod routes -- whatever's relevant to what was just generated/edited) for the user in a few lines, pointing out anything worth specifically checking in Serum's UI (e.g. "a new FX type that's never been tested live before", "a custom-synthesized wavetable", "an edited param that should have changed vs. what should have stayed the same").
-
Ask the user to load it and report back -- don't declare the feature/fix done based on the scan alone. If this was verifying a fix for something the user already reported, be specific about what changed and what you want them to check (the original symptom, not just "does it work").
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.

test-in-serum is a skill published in the GitHub repository Celian-mrc/serum-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 872 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
