mcp-builder

mcp-builder is a skill for Claude Code from DDS-Solutions/AI-TadPole-OS. It costs 24 tokens per session (582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building MCP servers, which connect coding agents to outside tools and data through a standard protocol.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning MCP server architecture, choosing transports, defining tools and resources, and working with services such as GitHub.
Why use it?
It helps developers design tool interfaces and resource access that agents can use reliably.

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-builder 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 7d 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.

[!IMPORTANT] AI Context & Knowledge Heritage

  • Subsystem: Agent Skills Registry / mcp-builder
  • Architecture: @docs ARCHITECTURE:Documentation
  • Failure Path: Information drift, legacy terminology, or documentation mismatch.

📐 2. Tool & Resource Design Principles

  1. Explicit Schemas: Define JSON Schema types for every tool argument with unambiguous descriptions.
  2. Predictable URIs: Use structured URI templates for resources (docs://readme, db://tables/{name}).
  3. Structured Errors: Return JSON error details rather than raw runtime stack traces.

🚫 3. Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • No Ambiguous Tool Names: Use active verb-noun naming (create_user, fetch_metrics).
  • No Unbounded Output: Always paginate or cap resource payloads to avoid saturating agent context.

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.

mcp-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository DDS-Solutions/AI-TadPole-OS (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 582 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
