jb_gateway_mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/run-jb-gateway-mcp/SKILL.md

run-jb-gateway-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from jitheshb83/jb_gateway_mcp. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,772 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for starting and checking the jb_gateway_mcp server through a real MCP client session. MCP is a protocol that lets an agent discover and call tools provided by another process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch, smoke-test, or verify jb_gateway_mcp, including cases where policy correctly allows or denies a tool call.
Why use it?
It verifies the server's handshake, available tools, policy-controlled calls, and audit logging instead of treating a process launch alone as proof that it works.

This is jitheshb83/jb_gateway_mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on jb_gateway_mcp 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 jb_gateway_mcp configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/jithesh/Documents/GitHub/jb_gateway_mcp.

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

run-jb-gateway-mcp scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/smoke_test.py), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Running jb_gateway_mcp

jb_gateway_mcp is a stdio MCP server — it has no port or health endpoint to curl. "Running" it means launching it exactly as a real MCP client would and driving a session against it, which is what scripts/smoke_test.py in this skill directory does.

Prerequisites

  • uv installed and on PATH
  • Run from the repo root: /Users/jithesh/Documents/GitHub/jb_gateway_mcp
  • policy.yaml should have grants under caller local for a fully "allowed" smoke test (see README.md §4) — but the script is useful either way: a denial is a correct, expected outcome when nothing is granted, not a failure.

Setup

Dependencies are managed by uv — there's no separate build step, uv run resolves/syncs the environment on first use. To pre-sync explicitly:

cd /Users/jithesh/Documents/GitHub/jb_gateway_mcp
uv sync

Run + verify (one command)

cd /Users/jithesh/Documents/GitHub/jb_gateway_mcp
uv run python .claude/skills/run-jb-gateway-mcp/scripts/smoke_test.py

What it does:

  1. Spawns the real server via scripts/start.sh — the same entrypoint every client config in this repo (.mcp.json, config/*.example.json) uses.
  2. Opens a real MCP ClientSession, does the protocol handshake.
  3. Lists tools and checks all 8 expected ones are present (ping + 7 Google tools).
  4. Calls ping, expects pong.
  5. Calls gmail.list_messages, calendar.list_events, drive.list_files against a placeholder account, and reports ALLOWED/DENIED per tool (driven by policy.yaml, caller id local).
  6. Prints the resulting audit log and fails the script if any token/secret material is found in it.
  7. Exits 0 on success. The spawned process's lifecycle is fully owned by the stdio_client async context manager — it's cleanly terminated on exit, no manual kill required.

Testing against a real Google account

The script uses a placeholder account ([email protected]), so the Google API calls will fail/be denied regardless of policy — that's expected and still exercises the full router → policy → adapter → audit path. To test against real data, edit ACCOUNT at the top of scripts/smoke_test.py to an already-onboarded real address (see README.md §2–3) for a local one-off run — don't commit a real account email into this shared script.

Changes

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.
