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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00109 | $0.01202 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00601 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00240 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00120 |
Grade A, and why
mps-run-configurations 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 9d 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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Running MPS Root Nodes
This skill covers the path from "an MPS root node exists in a model" to "a green IDE run / red stack trace in my hand," using only MCP tools. It targets user-level artifacts (DSL main-like roots, plain ClassConcept mains, test cases) — not launching MPS itself (the MPS / MPS (2nd inst.) configs are a different topic, see AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md).
Critical Directives
execute_run_configurationandget_run_configurationsare provided both by MPS and IDEA. Use the ones provided by MPS for running MPS nodes/tests.mps_mcp_create_run_configurationaccepts root nodes only, and only three shapes: implementsIMainClass, implementsITestCase, or is aClassConceptwith a qualifying staticmain. Pointing it at a method body or other non-root yields the non-root rejection. Seereferences/runnable-shapes.mdfor the exact predicate and producer precedence.- MAKE the module, not just the model, before running. Model MAKE regenerates
source_genbut does not always compile intoclasses_gen; running launches bytecode, so a staleclasses_gensilently runs old code. Seereferences/compile-before-run.md. - Keep
configurationNamestable across iterations. The tool replaces the existing config of the same<type>.<name>rather than creating duplicates — idempotent setup is the goal. Use distinct names only when you actually want parallel configs. - Do not silently flip
compileInMPS=falseto true.Compile.Noneand JPS-compile settings are usually intentional (sandbox modules, externally-built modules, packaged libraries). Confirm with the user; otherwise take the IDEA MCP file-path fallback. - Prefer the source-root path over generated-Java entry points. Source-root configs survive regeneration; file-path configs against
source_genonly work whileclasses_genis fresh. - MPS MCP
execute_run_configuration/get_run_configurationsdo not surface run points undersource_gen. Use the IDEA MCP variants when you need afilePath+linelauncher for generated Java. - Reuse before you create. If the user already has a working run config, prefer
get_run_configurations()+execute_run_configurationby its existing name — duplicates are pointless.
What ships with it
6 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-run-configurations is a skill published in the GitHub repository JetBrains/MPS (1,657 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 1,202 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
