crowdstrike-mcp:setup

crowdstrike-mcp:setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CrowdStrike/crowdstrike-mcp-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup assistant for connecting CrowdStrike Falcon, a cloud service for monitoring and protecting computers, to an MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify credentials, exchange them for an access token, create the plugin’s .mcp.json configuration file, and confirm the connection is installed.
Why use it?
It checks whether the required Falcon credentials exist and handles regional server configuration, reducing manual setup and configuration errors.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

crowdstrike-mcp:setup 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 4d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

  1. Verifying the required environment variables are set
  2. Running mcp-server-setup.sh to exchange credentials, detect the user's Falcon region, and write a .mcp.json file in the plugin's directory
  3. Confirming successful installation

The skill should be conversational but efficient — a single user message (/crowdstrike-mcp:setup) should complete the entire flow without unnecessary back-and-forth unless credentials are missing.

Environment check:

  • FALCON_CLIENT_ID set: ![[ -n "${FALCON_CLIENT_ID:-}" ]] && echo "YES" || echo "NO"
  • FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET set: ![[ -n "${FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET:-}" ]] && echo "YES" || echo "NO"
  • FALCON_MEMBER_CID set: ![[ -n "${FALCON_MEMBER_CID:-}" ]] && echo "YES (${FALCON_MEMBER_CID})" || echo "NO (optional)"

Existing .mcp.json: ![[ -f "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.mcp.json" ]] && echo "EXISTS" || echo "NOT FOUND"

Scripts:

  • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/mcp-server-setup.sh
  • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/crowdstrike-oauth2token.sh

Step 1: Check credentials

Read the context block above.

If FALCON_CLIENT_ID or FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET is "NO":

Stop and tell the user exactly what to do:

To use the CrowdStrike MCP server, you must first export your Falcon API credentials:

  export FALCON_CLIENT_ID="<your client ID>"
  export FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET="<your client secret>"

Optional — required only for MSSP / Flight Control tenants:
  export FALCON_MEMBER_CID="<member CID>"

You can obtain API credentials in the Falcon console under
API Clients & Keys > Create API Client.

Once exported, re-run /crowdstrike-mcp:setup.

Do not proceed further.

If both variables are set: continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Run mcp-server-setup.sh

Execute the setup script:

PLUGIN_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/mcp-server-setup.sh"

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.
