chroma-mcp

chroma-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Friz-zy/ai-capability-registry. It costs 8 tokens per session (348 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A connection to Chroma, a system commonly used to store and search collections of text or other data for AI applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tasks involving a Chroma dataset or AI data workflow.
Why use it?
It lets an agent work with Chroma when a project uses that service.

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

chroma-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 7d 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.

Chroma

No description.

When to use

  • Use Chroma only when the task directly involves the relevant service, SaaS product, platform, or technology.

Connection

Docker stdio

{
  "command": "docker",
  "args": [
    "run",
    "--rm",
    "-i",
    "-e",
    "CHROMA_API_KEY",
    "mcp/chroma"
  ]
}

MCP instructions

  • Use the MCP tools only for the user-requested service workflow and prefer read-only operations by default.
  • Confirm the target account, workspace, project, repository, or dataset before actions that can read private data or mutate remote state.
  • This server requires authorization or environment-provided credentials; ask the user before connecting or requesting access.

Docker launch notes

  • Launch through Docker stdio with docker run --rm -i -e CHROMA_API_KEY mcp/chroma.
  • Confirm required environment variables before launch: CHROMA_API_KEY.

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.
