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 | $0.00089 | $0.01471 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00736 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00294 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00147 |
Grade A, and why
connectors-directory-spec 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to connectors-directory-spec — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Anthropic Connectors Directory — tdmcp submission spec
The "Codex marketplace" is the Anthropic Connectors Directory, surfaced in Codex Desktop at Settings → Extensions → Browse extensions ("Anthropic-reviewed tools"). There are two submission paths with separate forms — picking the wrong one wastes a ~2-week review cycle.
Path decision — tdmcp is a Desktop Extension (MCPB)
| Path | For | tdmcp? |
|---|---|---|
| Remote MCP server (internet-hosted, OAuth 2.0) → MCP Directory form | SaaS-style connectors Codex reaches over the network | NO |
| Desktop Extension (local MCP server bundled as MCPB) → Desktop extension form | Local servers that run on the user's machine | YES |
Why local: tdmcp is a Node/stdio server that talks to a Python bridge running
inside TouchDesigner at 127.0.0.1:9980. It cannot be hosted remotely — it must
run next to TD on the artist's machine. So OAuth/hosting requirements do not
apply; ignore them. Submit via the Desktop extension form (linked from the
official submission docs page).
.dxtwas renamed to.mcpb(MCP Bundle). Existing.dxtstill installs, but new submissions should ship.mcpb. See themcpb-bundleskill.
Approval gates (these cause rejection)
| Gate | Requirement | tdmcp status |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy policy | Present + complete. Missing = immediate rejection. | TODO — docs-author writes it (local-only ⇒ short) |
| Tool annotations | Every tool has safety hints (readOnlyHint/destructiveHint). Missing = ~30% of all rejections. |
PASS — all tools annotated (verified in src/tools/**) |
| Production-ready | Not beta. Stable, versioned, installable. | PASS — v0.3.0 on npm + MCP registry |
| Public docs URL | Setup + usage docs. | PASS — https://pantani.github.io/tdmcp/ |
| Data-handling statement | What data is handled and where it goes. | TODO — trivial (see below) |
| Branding | Logo / icon. | PASS — docs/public/logo-400.png (400×400) + favicon |
| Installable bundle | A valid .mcpb. |
TODO — bundle-engineer migrates .dxt→.mcpb |
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.

connectors-directory-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills (6 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,471 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to connectors-directory-spec, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
