api-config

api-config is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server. It costs 43 tokens per session (5,235 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of api-config, Apache-2.0.

A configuration reference for an MCP server, covering framework settings, environment variables, defaults, and server-specific validation. Environment variables are settings supplied outside the code when the program runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining server configuration with Zod validation, reading core settings, documenting environment variables, and handling delayed configuration parsing in server and Workers deployments.
Why use it?
It prevents framework settings from being mixed with application-specific settings and clarifies which setting takes priority when values conflict.

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

api-config 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to api-config — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 289 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Configuration has two layers: core config (managed by the framework, env-driven) and server config (your own Zod schema for domain-specific env vars). Never merge them.

Import: AppConfig, config, parseConfig, resetConfig, ConfigSchema from @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/config.


Core config

Managed by @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core. Validated via Zod from environment variables. Uses a lazy proxy — parsing is deferred until the first property read.

Priority (highest to lowest):

  1. name/version/title/websiteUrl/description/icons options passed to createApp() or createWorkerHandler()
  2. Environment variables
  3. package.json fields

Identity

Env Var AppConfig field Default Notes
MCP_SERVER_NAME mcpServerName package.json name Overrides package name
MCP_SERVER_VERSION mcpServerVersion package.json version Overrides package version
MCP_SERVER_DESCRIPTION mcpServerDescription package.json description Optional; createApp({ description }) wins when set
PACKAGE_NAME pkg.name package.json name Rarely needed
PACKAGE_VERSION pkg.version package.json version Rarely needed

SDK identity fields (API-only, no env var equivalent — passed to createApp() / createWorkerHandler(), forwarded to initialize and /.well-known/mcp.json):

Option Type Notes
title string? Human-readable display name shown in client listings
websiteUrl string? Canonical homepage / repository URL
description string? One-line description; wins over MCP_SERVER_DESCRIPTION when set
icons Implementation['icons']? Array of icon objects: { src, mimeType?, sizes?: string[], theme?: 'light'|'dark' }
cacheHints CacheHints? Cache hints for the 2026-07-28 cacheable results, keyed by operation — see below

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.
