mongodb-memory-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/add-mcp-tool/SKILL.md

add-mcp-tool is a skill for Claude Code from jtv4k/mongodb-memory-mcp. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,882 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for adding a new MCP tool, which lets an AI client call a server capability through a standard interface. It covers the input and output definitions, service method, registration, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to expose a new server action over MCP or safely change an existing tool’s input or output.
Why use it?
Adding only part of a tool can leave it unregistered, incorrectly validated, or separated from the application’s business logic.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is jtv4k/mongodb-memory-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mongodb-memory-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 mongodb-memory-mcp configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is } from '../../domain/schemas.js';.

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

add-mcp-tool 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 2mo 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 — 287 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adding an MCP tool

A tool is five files, always in this order. Doing them out of order produces a tool the SDK will not register or, worse, one that skips cross-field validation.

Read src/mcp/tools/store-content.ts and src/mcp/tools/shared.ts first — they are the reference implementation, and everything below matches them.


Step 1 — Decide whether the service needs a new method

Transports hold no business logic (src/services/types.ts says so and means it). A tool validates input, calls exactly one KnowledgeService method, and formats the result.

If the capability does not already exist on KnowledgeService:

  1. Add the method to the KnowledgeService interface in src/services/types.ts, signature (input: XInput, ctx: RequestContext) => Promise<XResult>.
  2. Add XResult to src/domain/types.ts.
  3. Implement it inside createKnowledgeService() in src/services/knowledge-service.ts and add it to the returned object at the bottom of the factory.
  4. Wrap every MongoDB call in guarded(logger, 'collection.operation', () => …) so a raw MongoServerError never escapes as an unclassified failure.

If the capability is already on the service (listDocuments, getDocument, reembed, embeddingCoverage all exist and are currently only reachable over REST), skip to step 2.


Step 2 — Add the schemas to src/domain/schemas.ts

Three exports per tool, following the file's existing convention exactly:

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// summarize_source
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

export const summarizeSourceShape = {
  sourceId: sourceIdSchema.describe('Source to summarise.'),
  maxChunks: z
    .number()
    .int()
    .min(1)
    .max(50)
    .default(10)
    .describe('How many leading chunks to include.'),
} satisfies z.ZodRawShape;

export const summarizeSourceSchema = z.object(summarizeSourceShape).superRefine(/* … */);
export type SummarizeSourceInput = z.infer<typeof summarizeSourceSchema>;

export const summarizeSourceOutputShape = {
  sourceId: z.string(),
  title: z.string(),
  chunkCount: z.number().int(),
  updatedAt: z.string(),
} satisfies z.ZodRawShape;

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.
