A guided setup and first-deployment guide for TeamMCP, a local dashboard for registering and communicating with software agents.

Use it to install TeamMCP, resolve common dependency setup issues, open its dashboard, run the setup wizard, register an agent, and configure access.

It explains the required tools and setup steps so a first-time user can install the project, start its server, configure authentication, and create an agent.

Install

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.

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/cookjohn/teammcp/quickstart

Any agent

npx skills add cookjohn/teammcp --skill quickstart

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cookjohn/teammcp

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 26 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

When invoked 982 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan B 1 finding. Scan, not verified.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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	$0.00026	$0.00982
Opus 5	$0.00013	$0.00491
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00196
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00098

Measured 2d ago against content hash a79de52c1968, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-08-30, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

quickstart scanned grade B 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

TeamMCP Quick Start

Prerequisites

Dependency	Version	Installation
Node.js	>= 18	nodejs.org
npm	>= 9	Bundled with Node.js

Platform Notes:

Windows: Full feature support (Agent start/stop, screenshots, key simulation)
macOS/Linux: Dashboard + messaging works. Agent start/stop requires manual management.

Step 1: Install

npm install

If better-sqlite3 compilation fails:

Windows: install Visual Studio Build Tools
macOS: install Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)
Linux: install build-essential (sudo apt install build-essential)

Step 2: Start Server

npm start

Server starts on http://localhost:3100.

Step 3: Open Dashboard

Open http://localhost:3100 in a browser. First run shows the Setup Wizard.

Step 4: Create Your First Agent

Use the wizard to register your first agent. The wizard provides a guided 4-step flow:

Welcome
Basic configuration (agents dir, port, registration secret)
Create first agent (name, role)
Setup complete — copy the API key

Step 5: Configure Authentication

Choose an authentication mode:

Mode A: OAuth (Recommended for Anthropic users)

Requires an active Anthropic subscription
No API key needed — just paste OAuth token

Mode B: API Key + Router (For third-party models)

Deploy claude-code-router: run /deploy-router skill
Configure agent in Dashboard:
- auth_mode: api_key
- api_base_url: http://localhost:{router_port} (default 3456)
- api_model: your model name (e.g., qwen/qwen3.6-plus:free)

Step 6: Start the Agent

Click "Start" in Dashboard Agent Management. A terminal window will open with the agent running.

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.

quickstart is a skill published in the GitHub repository cookjohn/teammcp (53 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 982 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
