configure-server

configure-server is a skill for Claude Code from jpicklyk/task-orchestrator. It costs 145 tokens per session (3,100 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for configuring how the Task Orchestrator server starts and how clients connect to it, including its transport, API, ports, and configuration files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the server, choosing HTTP or STDIO connections, publishing ports, mounting configuration, and enabling configuration synchronisation.
Why use it?
It separates server runtime setup from workflow rules, reducing confusion when deploying or reconnecting the server.

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

configure-server 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 20d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Configure Server — Runtime & Transport Setup

Decides how the MCP Task Orchestrator container is launched and reached: transport, REST API mode, port publishing, config mount, and config-sync. This is a runtime/deployment concern, distinct from quick-start (first-time onboarding narrative) and manage-schemas (workflow gates/traits/ resources:/actor_authentication content inside .taskorchestrator/config.yaml). If the user wants schema or gate changes — including resource-lease declarations — redirect to /manage-schemas instead of proceeding here.

One operator escape hatch worth knowing when launching the container: RESOURCE_LEASES_ENFORCED=false (env, default true) disables resource-lease gate enforcement server-wide — a kill switch for lease contention incidents, same gate-policy category as DEGRADED_MODE_POLICY. Configuring which resources exist and which traits declare them stays in /manage-schemas; this skill only knows the switch.

The full fragment catalog (exact env tuples, loopback caveat, Windows/MSYS caveat, .mcp.json shapes) lives in references/runtime-config.md — this skill's job is the decision flow and rendering, not re-deriving that catalog. Read it before rendering any command.


Before walking the full decision tree, offer the one-tap recommended path via AskUserQuestion:

AskUserQuestion(questions: [{
  question: "How do you want to run the server?",
  header: "Server setup",
  multiSelect: false,
  options: [
    { label: "Recommended default", description: "HTTP + REST API enabled, unauthenticated, loopback-bound (127.0.0.1). Enables config-sync out of the box. Best for a single developer working across multiple projects." },
    { label: "Customize", description: "Walk through transport, REST mode, config mount, and debug logging one at a time." }
  ]
}])

Recommended default → skip straight to Step 5 (Render — HTTP) with: REST = unauthenticated, config mount = none, debug = off. Customize → Step 2.

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.
