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

claude-mcp-expert 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 9d 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.

Claude Code MCP Expert

Connect Claude Code to external tools, databases, and services using Model Context Protocol (MCP).

When to Use

  • User wants to connect external services (GitHub, Jira, Sentry)
  • User needs database access (PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
  • User asks about MCP configuration or .mcp.json
  • User has MCP connection or authentication issues

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that connects AI agents to:

  • External APIs (GitHub, Jira, Notion, Slack)
  • Databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL)
  • File systems (local, Google Drive)
  • Custom integrations

Quick Start

# Add an HTTP server
claude mcp add --transport http sentry https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp

# Add an SSE server
claude mcp add --transport sse atlassian https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse

# Add a stdio server (npm package)
claude mcp add --transport stdio github -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github

# Manage servers interactively
/mcp

Transport Types

HTTP (Most Common)

For cloud services with REST-like endpoints.

claude mcp add --transport http sentry https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http github https://api.github.com/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp

SSE (Server-Sent Events)

For streaming services.

claude mcp add --transport sse atlassian https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse
claude mcp add --transport sse asana https://mcp.asana.com/sse

stdio (Local/NPM Packages)

For local tools or npm packages.

claude mcp add --transport stdio postgres \
  --env POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db" \
  -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres

claude mcp add --transport stdio filesystem \
  --env ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES="/path/to/dir" \
  -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem

Development Tools

Service Command
Sentry claude mcp add --transport http sentry https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp
GitHub claude mcp add --transport http github https://api.github.com/mcp
Socket claude mcp add --transport http socket https://mcp.socket.dev/

What ships with it

1 file 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.
