mcf-server

mcf-server is a skill for Claude Code from jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,343 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A scaffold generator for MCP servers, which let an AI system connect to external tools and services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start Python or Go MCP servers, add tool integrations, or register an external service with a gateway.
Why use it?
It removes the repeated setup work involved in creating a server with the expected files, language choices, tests, and deployment configuration.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is COPY src/ ./src/.

Good fit Use it to start Python or Go MCP servers, add tool integrations, or register an external service with a gateway.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 C, and why

mcf-server scanned grade C with 2 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 302 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create an MCP server for: $ARGUMENTS

Language Decision

Ask the user which language unless obvious from context:

  • Python (FastMCP 2.x) — Default choice. 20 existing examples in mcp-servers/python/. Best for rapid development, API integrations, and data processing.
  • Go (mcp-go) — 6 existing examples in mcp-servers/go/. Best for high-performance, low-latency, or standalone binary deployments.

Python Server (FastMCP 2.x)

Project Layout

mcp-servers/python/<server-name>/
  pyproject.toml
  Makefile
  Containerfile
  README.md
  src/<package_name>/
    __init__.py
    server_fastmcp.py   # FastMCP entry point
    tools.py             # optional: separate tool logic
  tests/
    test_server.py

Step 1: Scaffold the project

Use the naming convention: kebab-case for directory, snake_case for package.

# Example: mcp-servers/python/weather-server/src/weather_server/
mkdir -p mcp-servers/python/<server-name>/src/<package_name>
mkdir -p mcp-servers/python/<server-name>/tests
touch mcp-servers/python/<server-name>/src/<package_name>/__init__.py

Step 2: Create server_fastmcp.py

Follow this pattern (all 20 existing servers use it):

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from fastmcp import FastMCP
import argparse

mcp = FastMCP("<server-name>", version="0.1.0")


@mcp.tool
def my_tool(param: str) -> str:
    """Tool description — type hints define the MCP schema."""
    return f"Result: {param}"


def main() -> None:
    """Entry point with transport selection."""
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="<Server Name> FastMCP Server")
    parser.add_argument("--transport", choices=["stdio", "http"], default="stdio")
    parser.add_argument("--host", default="0.0.0.0")
    parser.add_argument("--port", type=int, default=8000)
    args = parser.parse_args()

    if args.transport == "http":
        mcp.run(transport="http", host=args.host, port=args.port)
    else:
        mcp.run()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

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.

mcf-server is a skill published in the GitHub repository jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge (0 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 2,343 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
