Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00065 | $0.02438 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01219 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00488 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00244 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-server-dev 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Build an MCP Server
You are guiding a developer through designing and building an MCP server. MCP servers come in many forms — picking the wrong shape early causes painful rewrites later. Your first job is discovery, not code.
Do not start scaffolding until you have answers to the questions in Phase 1. If the user's opening message already answers them, acknowledge that and skip straight to the recommendation.
Phase 1 — Interrogate the use case
Ask these questions conversationally (batch them into one message, don't interrogate one-at-a-time). Adapt wording to what the user has already told you.
1. What does it connect to?
| If it connects to… | Likely direction |
|---|---|
| A cloud API (SaaS, REST, GraphQL) | Remote HTTP server |
| A local process, filesystem, or desktop app | MCPB or local stdio |
| Hardware, OS-level APIs, or user-specific state | MCPB |
| Nothing external — pure logic / computation | Either — default to remote |
2. Who will use it?
- Just me / my team, on our machines → Local stdio is acceptable (easiest to prototype)
- Anyone who installs it → Remote HTTP (strongly preferred) or MCPB (if it must be local)
- Users who want UI widgets → MCP app (remote or MCPB)
3. How many distinct actions does it expose?
This determines the tool-design pattern — see Phase 3.
- Under ~15 actions → one tool per action
- Dozens to hundreds of actions (e.g. wrapping a large API surface) → search + execute pattern
4. Does a tool need mid-call user input or rich display?
- Simple structured input (pick from list, enter a value, confirm) → Elicitation — spec-native, zero UI code. Host support is rolling out (Claude Code ≥ 2.1.76) — always pair with a capability check and fallback.
- Rich/visual UI (charts, custom pickers with search, live dashboards) → MCP app widgets — iframe-based, needs
@modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps. - Neither → plain tool returning text/JSON.
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-server-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository euxx/claude-skills-for-copilot (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,438 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.

create-admin-routing
Create the Symfony routing YAML file declaring all admin routes for the domain. Trigger: "create routing for {Domain}".
create-controller-listing
Create the listing page actions in the admin controller: index (grid with filters), delete, toggle status, and any bulk actions the entity requires. Trigger: "create listing for {Domain}", "create index action for {Domain}".
create-form-type
Create the Symfony form type for an entity's add/edit form. Covers standard field types, translatable fields, money fields, file uploads, and choice providers. For multi-tab layout with NavigationTabType, see create-form-tab-layout. Trigger: "create form type for {Domain}".
