mssql-mcp: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/verify-mssql-mcp/SKILL.md

verify-mssql-mcp is a skill for Cursor from eamonboyle/mssql-mcp. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,745 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification guide for testing an MSSQL MCP server through the same network interface used by MCP clients. MCP is a standard way for coding tools to call server-provided actions, data, and prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for launching the server, calling its tools and resources over Streamable HTTP, and collecting evidence that a feature works.
Why use it?
It helps prove that a change works against real Docker databases and reproduce failures users can see, instead of relying on tests that use mocked databases.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is eamonboyle/mssql-mcp's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on mssql-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mssql-mcp configures →

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

verify-mssql-mcp 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/mcp-rpc.mjs, scripts/verify-ctl.sh), 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.

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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify MSSQL MCP

The product a user touches is the MCP server. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and any JSON-RPC client call tools, read resources, and get prompts. There is no web UI. Stdio is the default client transport. Verification drives the same server over Streamable HTTP because that is how this repo already scripts a real client.

Do not drive an MCP process you did not start with verify-ctl.sh launch.

Read features/README.md before a run. Drive the mapped feature file, not a convenient substitute.

Launch

From the repo root:

cp -n .env.example .env
.cursor/skills/verify-mssql-mcp/scripts/verify-ctl.sh launch

The script copies .env.example to .env when .env is missing. It starts mssql-mcp-dev with npm run db:up when that container is absent. It builds dist/ when dist/index.js is missing. It then starts node dist/index.js with MCP_TRANSPORT=http, MCP_HTTP_HOST=127.0.0.1, MCP_HTTP_PORT=3334, ENABLE_DDL=true, and READONLY=false.

Ready means initialize against http://127.0.0.1:3334/mcp succeeds. The process logs MCP Streamable HTTP server listening on http://127.0.0.1:3334/mcp to /tmp/verify-mssql-mcp/state/server.log.

Override the bind with MCP_VERIFY_HTTP_HOST and MCP_VERIFY_HTTP_PORT. Override state and evidence directories with VERIFY_STATE_DIR and VERIFY_EVIDENCE_DIR. Defaults are /tmp/verify-mssql-mcp/state and /tmp/verify-mssql-mcp/evidence.

A second HTTP instance can share Docker SQL Server if it uses another port. Writes share AppDB. Use unique emails and table names. If port 3334 already has a listener this skill did not start, launch refuses. It does not kill that process.

npm run test:e2e is a different launcher. It binds port 3333 and kills whatever already owns that port. Do not run it while a verify instance is up unless you intend to take over 3333.

Teardown is verify-ctl.sh cleanup. Docker SQL Server stays running.

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
