mtg-mcp-server: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/new-provider/SKILL.md

new-provider is a skill for Claude Code from j4th/mtg-mcp-server. It costs 19 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scaffolding command for adding a backend provider to a Magic: The Gathering data server. Scaffolding creates the standard starting files for a new service client, provider, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start integrations for services such as Scryfall, Spellbook, SeventeenLands, or EDHREC by generating the expected Python files.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive setup work and keeps new providers aligned with the project's existing structure. The command still requires the provider-specific implementation details.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

This is j4th/mtg-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mtg-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mtg-mcp-server configures →

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

new-provider 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 8d 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

New Provider

Scaffold a new backend provider with all required files following project conventions.

Usage

/new-provider <name>

Examples:

  • /new-provider scryfall
  • /new-provider spellbook
  • /new-provider seventeen_lands
  • /new-provider edhrec

What Gets Created

Given /new-provider <name>:

1. Service client: src/mtg_mcp_server/services/<name>.py

import structlog
from mtg_mcp_server.services.base import DEFAULT_USER_AGENT, BaseClient, ServiceError

log = structlog.get_logger(service="<name>")

class <Name>Error(ServiceError): ...
class <Name>NotFoundError(<Name>Error): ...

class <Name>Client(BaseClient):
    """<Name> API client."""

    def __init__(
        self,
        base_url: str = "...",  # from Settings
        rate_limit_rps: float = ...,
        user_agent: str = DEFAULT_USER_AGENT,
    ) -> None:
        super().__init__(
            base_url=base_url,
            rate_limit_rps=rate_limit_rps,
            user_agent=user_agent,
        )

2. Provider sub-server: src/mtg_mcp_server/providers/<name>.py

from fastmcp import FastMCP
from fastmcp.server.lifespan import lifespan
from fastmcp.exceptions import ToolError

from mtg_mcp_server.config import Settings
from mtg_mcp_server.providers import TOOL_ANNOTATIONS
from mtg_mcp_server.services.<name> import <Name>Client

_client: <Name>Client | None = None

@lifespan
async def <name>_lifespan(server: FastMCP):
    global _client
    settings = Settings()
    client = <Name>Client(base_url=settings.<name>_base_url)
    async with client:
        _client = client
        yield {}
    _client = None

<name>_mcp = FastMCP("<DisplayName>", lifespan=<name>_lifespan)

def _get_client() -> <Name>Client:
    if _client is None:
        raise RuntimeError("<Name>Client not initialized — server lifespan not running")
    return _client

# Tools go here — each uses:
#   annotations=TOOL_ANNOTATIONS
#   client = _get_client()
#   ToolError for error responses

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.
