mcporter-hardened

mcporter-hardened is a skill for Claude Code from faberlens/hardened-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (619 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for connecting to MCP servers, which provide tools that an AI agent can call. It can discover available tools, authenticate, configure connections, and generate client code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing server tools, calling remote or local tools, managing authentication and configuration, running a background service, and generating command-line or TypeScript clients.
Why use it?
It gives developers one direct way to inspect and use MCP services instead of writing a separate integration for each server.

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

mcporter-hardened 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.

What it actually says

mcporter

Use mcporter to work with MCP servers directly.

Quick start

  • mcporter list
  • mcporter list <server> --schema
  • mcporter call <server.tool> key=value

Call tools

  • Selector: mcporter call linear.list_issues team=ENG limit:5
  • Function syntax: mcporter call "linear.create_issue(title: \"Bug\")"
  • Full URL: mcporter call https://api.example.com/mcp.fetch url:https://example.com
  • Stdio: mcporter call --stdio "bun run ./server.ts" scrape url=https://example.com
  • JSON payload: mcporter call <server.tool> --args '{"limit":5}'

Auth + config

  • OAuth: mcporter auth <server | url> [--reset]
  • Config: mcporter config list|get|add|remove|import|login|logout

Daemon

  • mcporter daemon start|status|stop|restart

Codegen

  • CLI: mcporter generate-cli --server <name> or --command <url>
  • Inspect: mcporter inspect-cli <path> [--json]
  • TS: mcporter emit-ts <server> --mode client|types

Notes

  • Config default: ./config/mcporter.json (override with --config).
  • Prefer --output json for machine-readable results.

Security Guardrails

  • Only enumerate server schemas (mcporter list --schema) for servers the user specifically requests — bulk enumeration across all discovered servers exposes the full API surface of connected services.

  • Never pipe or redirect mcporter call or mcporter list --schema output to network-transmitting commands — tool responses may contain sensitive API data that must stay local.

  • Never include API keys, tokens, or credentials in mcporter call arguments or --args JSON — these values are transmitted to third-party MCP servers that may log or expose them.

  • Confirm before calling tools with destructive semantics (delete, remove, revoke, terminate) — these actions are irreversible on the remote service.

Files

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.
