What is mcp-suite-maintenance?

A maintenance guide for a group of TypeScript MCP servers that connect coding agents to systems such as Kubernetes, Kafka, Azure, and databases. It defines shared rules for permissions, configuration, testing, and releases.

Use it when adding or changing a server tool, updating dependencies, changing security rules, preparing a release, or publishing a package to npm.

It helps keep changes consistent across related servers and prevents tools from exposing more access than their configured security level allows.

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 5.1	$0.00112	$0.01650
Opus 5	$0.00056	$0.00825
Sonnet 5	$0.00022	$0.00330
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00165

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-suite-maintenance 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 10d 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.

Maintaining the MCP server suite

These six TypeScript MCP servers share one architecture and one security philosophy: safe by default, least privilege, never leak secrets. This skill captures the invariants and the routine tasks so changes stay consistent and safe.

Shared architecture (every repo)

src/
  index.ts        # stdio entrypoint: load config → build server → connect
  server.ts       # registers ONLY tools whose capability ≤ access mode
  config.ts       # env → typed config (connection + security)
  security.ts     # PURE policy engine (SecurityPolicy). No I/O. Unit-tested.
  <domain>/client.ts  # thin wrapper over the real SDK/REST API
  tools/{read,write,admin}.ts  # tool defs tagged with a capability
test/             # vitest — always includes security.test.ts

Capabilities: every tool declares capability: "read" | "write" | "admin".
Access modes: read-only (0) → read-write (1) → admin (2). A tool is only registered when CAPABILITY_RANK[tool] <= MODE_RANK[mode]. Over-privileged tools are never advertised — this is the primary guarantee.
Guard at call time too: every handler calls policy.guard({ tool, capability, <resource>, destructive? }) before doing work. Defence in depth on top of registration.

Non-negotiable invariants (do NOT regress these)

Read-only means read-only. A tool tagged read must never mutate. If it can mutate, it is write or admin.
Destructive ops need a second opt-in. Deletes/drops require the mode and an explicit flag (*_ALLOW_DELETE, OCI_ALLOW_APPLY, K8S_ALLOW_EXEC, etc.). The most dangerous (k8s exec_in_pod) is not even registered without its flag.
Protected resources are read-only forever. System realms/namespaces/databases/internal topics can be read but never mutated, regardless of mode.
Secrets never reach the model. Redact before returning (see redact.ts in mcp-oci / mcp-debezium; reset_password never echoes; list_clients strips secrets; ClickHouse caps rows). Any new field that could carry a credential must be redacted.
Audit + dry-run apply to every write. guard() emits the audit line and returns { dryRun }; write handlers must honor dryRun by returning intent without calling the backend.
stdout belongs to MCP. All logs/audit/warnings go to stderr only. Never console.log to stdout.

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.
