notebook-editing

notebook-editing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jsamuel1/jupyter-editor-mcp. It costs 88 tokens per session (2,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file editor for Jupyter Notebooks, which are files that combine code, results and explanatory text. It changes notebook structure directly without starting Jupyter or running the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect, search, insert, replace, delete, merge, split and validate notebook cells and metadata, including cleaning outputs before a commit.
Why use it?
Notebook files are JSON and can be awkward to edit safely by hand. This tool supports controlled changes while keeping execution separate from file editing.

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

notebook-editing 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 2d 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.

Jupyter Editor MCP

Overview

The Jupyter Editor MCP server enables AI coding assistants to work directly with Jupyter Notebook files (.ipynb) without requiring a running Jupyter server. This is essential for programmatic notebook manipulation, batch operations, and integrating notebook editing into automated workflows.

When to Use This Skill

Use the Jupyter Editor MCP when you need to:

  • Read, analyze, or search notebook content
  • Add, modify, or delete cells in notebooks
  • Perform batch operations across multiple cells or notebooks
  • Manage notebook metadata and kernel specifications
  • Merge, split, or reorganize notebooks
  • Validate notebook structure and format

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Executing notebook cells (use a Jupyter kernel instead)
  • Real-time collaborative editing
  • Working with non-.ipynb files

Safety Boundaries

  • Use these tools only with local .ipynb files. The server parses and writes notebook JSON at whatever path it is given and does not check the file extension, so never point it at a file that is not a Jupyter notebook; use ordinary file tools for those.
  • The server never executes code, starts a kernel, or contacts a network service.
  • Recommended persistent approvals: ipynb_read_notebook, ipynb_list_cells, ipynb_get_cell, ipynb_search_cells, ipynb_get_notebook_info. These five only read a notebook. They are a deliberately small allowlist, not a complete list of the tools without side effects. Prefer them first to understand a notebook.
  • Every other tool stays prompt-gated. A few of them also only read (for example ipynb_get_metadata and ipynb_validate_notebook), but most write, delete, or create notebook files, including batch and multi-notebook tools such as ipynb_delete_cells_batch, ipynb_filter_cells, and ipynb_apply_to_notebooks. Before calling a tool that changes files, confirm the target file, indices, and intent with the user, and expect the client to ask for approval.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+ with uv / uvx available on PATH
  • An Agent Plugins compatible client (for example Kiro) with this plugin installed

notebook-editing is a skill published in the GitHub repository jsamuel1/jupyter-editor-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 2,954 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-24.
