connect-atlas-mcp

connect-atlas-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from cognitedata/builder-skills. It costs 106 tokens per session (651 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for connecting an AI coding tool to an Industrial Atlas project through MCP, a standard way for AI tools to use external services. It uses the connection command supplied by Fusion and completes sign-in in a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a Fusion Custom apps prompt says to start building or connect Industrial MCP. It covers running the supplied command in tools such as Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.
Why use it?
It avoids rebuilding connection details incorrectly or confusing CLI login with the separate MCP sign-in. If Fusion's instructions are incomplete, it tells the builder to provide them again.

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

connect-atlas-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 18d 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

Connect Atlas MCP (Fusion launch)

The Fusion prompt has a block like this, with one command for the tool Fusion opened:

Industrial MCP for this project:
- MCP URL: https://<cluster>/api/v1/projects/<project>/ai/mcp
- Run this command as written, then finish the OAuth flow in the browser:
  <command>

Known command shapes:

Tool Command starts with
Claude claude mcp add-json cognite '{...}'
Cursor cursor --add-mcp '{...}'
Copilot / VS Code code --add-mcp '{...}'

If the prompt carries a command for another tool, treat it the same way. Do not rebuild the URL from cluster or project. Do not invent client ids, callback ports, or switch add-json to claude mcp add.

If ---Start Building--- is missing, or the MCP URL or command is missing, the prompt was truncated. Ask the builder to Copy from Fusion and paste, then continue.

Do not paste tokens. Do not scrape the CLI keychain. The prompt's npx @cognite/cli@latest auth login signs in the CLI; it is not the MCP credential.

1. Run Fusion's command as written

Run the command verbatim in a terminal. This is the happy path.

On Windows the single-quoted JSON is POSIX shell quoting. PowerShell 7.3+ accepts it as-is. In Windows PowerShell 5.1 or cmd.exe, wrap the JSON in double quotes and escape inner quotes as \". Change only the quoting, never the JSON.

Fallback, only if the command cannot run (CLI not on PATH, tool refuses the flag): add the same server by hand to the tool's MCP config. Use the JSON from the command, name the server cognite, and keep cognite-docs if the template has it.

2. Finish OAuth in the browser

Enable the cognite server and complete the browser flow. Success is connected in the tool, not a file on disk.

3. Explore this project's data models

Prefer MCP list/query. Name models relevant to the Fusion intent. Do not invent spaces or views. Graph reads in app code: dm-graph-traversal.

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.
