JetBrains MPS is a development environment for creating domain-specific languages, which are programming languages designed for a particular field or task. It provides editors with features such as completion, semantic checks, and type checking, and can generate code in languages including Java and XML.
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 | $0.00057 | $0.00784 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00392 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00157 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
mps-language-analysis 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 5d 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.

MPS Language Analysis
Workflow for inspecting an MPS language from a name (e.g. jetbrains.mps.lang.core). Returns concepts, metadata, structural info, and pointers to declarations and sample nodes.
Critical Directives
- Use the fully qualified language name (e.g.
jetbrains.mps.lang.core) — single-letter shorthand (j.m.l.core) requires resolution first viamps_mcp_get_project_structure. - For the
qualifiedNamereturned bymps_mcp_get_concept_details, use it as theconceptfield in JSON blueprints. It is unambiguous.
Analyzing a Language by Name
- Verify Language: call
mps_mcp_get_project_structurewith the language name as a filter (startingPoint: My_Language). This confirms existence and provides the UUID. - Retrieve Concepts: use
mps_mcp_get_concept_detailswith the language name inlanguageRefs. BothconceptRefsandlanguageRefsaccept either one value or a JSON-array string; omit the unused selector. - Extract Data: the response includes:
- Name: concept FQN.
- Description: found in
shortDescription. - Metadata:
isRootable,isAbstract, and theconceptReferenceID. - Structure: properties, children, and references are detailed here.
- Drill Down:
- Declaration: use the
sourceNodereference withmps_mcp_open_nodeto open the definition. - Examples: use
mps_mcp_query_nodeswithFIND_INSTANCES(sampleOnly: true) to get a sample node. Then usemps_mcp_print_nodeto see its canonical JSON structure for use as a template. - Inheritance: load the
mps-language-inheritanceskill for deeper hierarchy analysis.
- Declaration: use the
Inspecting Concept Aspects
Use mps_mcp_query_structure with LIST_CONCEPT_ASPECTS to find associated definitions (Editor, Constraints, Behavior):
- Direct Aspects: returns roots targeting the specific concept.
- Inherited Aspects: set
includeInherited: trueto include aspects from ancestors (superconcepts/interfaces). - Editor Analysis:
- ConceptEditorDeclaration: defines the full editor for the
targetsConcept. - EditorComponentDeclaration: defines reusable presentation pieces.
- Check the
editormodel in the response to identify available editors.
- ConceptEditorDeclaration: defines the full editor for the
What ships with it
2 files 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.
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.

mps-language-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository JetBrains/MPS (1,658 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 784 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
