qmd-mcp-skill

qmd-mcp-skill is a skill for Codex from holon-run/uxc. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,325 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interface for searching a local QMD knowledge index through MCP. A knowledge index organizes documents for text or meaning-based retrieval, while QMD is the local search system used here.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check and query an existing QMD index through a local MCP connection, including setups that need shell or GPU environment variables.
Why use it?
It reuses a background QMD process, reducing repeated setup and model warmup when making multiple searches.

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

qmd-mcp-skill 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.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.

QMD MCP Skill

Use this skill to query a local QMD index through uxc using a fixed MCP stdio link.

Reuse the uxc skill for generic protocol discovery, JSON envelope parsing, and daemon lifecycle basics.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • qmd is installed and available in the runtime PATH, or can be launched through a shell wrapper.
  • A QMD index already exists and is healthy:
    • qmd status
    • qmd update
    • qmd embed
  • For GPU-backed setups, the shell used by qmd mcp already exports any required runtime environment such as CUDA_PATH, CUDACXX, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or Node/nvm initialization.

Core Workflow

  1. Verify the local QMD index first:
    • qmd status
    • Confirm collections, vector count, and device look reasonable before linking MCP.
  2. Use a fixed link command by default:
    • command -v qmd-mcp-cli
    • If missing and qmd already works in the current shell:
      • uxc link --daemon-idle-ttl 0 qmd-mcp-cli "qmd mcp"
    • If qmd depends on nvm, CUDA env, or other shell setup, wrap it explicitly:
      • uxc link --daemon-idle-ttl 0 qmd-mcp-cli "/bin/bash -lc 'export NVM_DIR=$HOME/.nvm; . $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh; nvm use 23 >/dev/null; export CUDA_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.6; export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-11.6; export CUDACXX=/usr/local/cuda-11.6/bin/nvcc; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.6/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}; export NODE_LLAMA_CPP_CMAKE_OPTION_CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=86; export NODE_LLAMA_CPP_GPU=cuda; qmd mcp'"
    • qmd-mcp-cli -h
    • If command conflict is detected and cannot be safely reused, stop and ask skill maintainers to pick another fixed command name.
  3. Confirm the daemon-backed stdio path is active:
    • uxc daemon status
    • uxc daemon sessions
  4. Inspect operation schema before execution:
    • qmd-mcp-cli query -h
    • qmd-mcp-cli get -h
    • qmd-mcp-cli multi_get -h
    • qmd-mcp-cli status -h
  5. Prefer typed retrieval over CLI-style auto expansion:
    • Start with query using explicit lex / vec / hyde searches
    • Use get or multi_get only after narrowing candidates

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.

qmd-mcp-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository holon-run/uxc (113 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,325 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
