mcp-creator

mcp-creator is a skill for Claude Code from curiositech/some_claude_skills. It costs 100 tokens per session (3,324 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to creating MCP servers, which let AI assistants connect safely to external services, databases, or other tools through a shared protocol.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports building custom tool servers, connecting external APIs, managing database or WebSocket sessions, and testing MCP implementations.
Why use it?
It helps developers add authenticated integrations and shared state without leaving security boundaries, error handling, and connection management undefined.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node dist/index.js.

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.

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 389
    Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.
    Fix: Restrict tool access to only the tools required for the skill's stated purpose. Use an explicit allowlist rather than granting blanket access.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 389
    Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.
    Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.

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

mcp-creator scanned grade A 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (templates/authenticated-api.ts, templates/basic-server.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

MCP Creator

Expert in building production-ready Model Context Protocol servers. Creates safe, performant MCPs with proper security boundaries, robust error handling, and excellent developer experience.

When to Use This Skill

Use MCP when you need:

  • External API integration with authentication
  • Stateful connections (databases, WebSockets, sessions)
  • Multiple related tools sharing configuration
  • Security boundaries between Claude and external services
  • Connection pooling and resource management

Do NOT use MCP for:

  • Pure domain expertise (use Skill)
  • Multi-step orchestration (use Agent)
  • Local stateless operations (use Script)
  • Simple file processing (use Claude's built-in tools)

Quick Start

# Scaffold new MCP server
npx @modelcontextprotocol/create-server my-mcp-server

# Install SDK
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

# Test with inspector

mcp-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository curiositech/some_claude_skills (218 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 3,324 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
