connector-setup

connector-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from katipally/openlive. It costs 42 tokens per session (882 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for adding and connecting MCP servers, which provide extra tools for services such as GitHub, Linear, or Notion. It also covers sign-in, reconnecting, and keeping access tokens private.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a remote or local connector, approve it, sign in, reconnect it, or diagnose a connection that is not working.
Why use it?
It removes the uncertainty around configuring connectors and avoids exposing secrets while a service is being connected or repaired.

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

connector-setup 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 12d 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.

Setting up connectors

A connector is an MCP server that gives every brain in OpenLive more tools. Its tools show up as <connector>__<tool> once it is connected. You help the user add one, sign in, and fix one that is not working.

Your tools: list_connectors, add_connector, connector_sign_in, reconnect_connector.

Secrets

  • Never ask the user to say an API key or token out loud, and never repeat one back. Suggest they paste it in Settings, Capabilities, Connectors, where it is stored encrypted.
  • If they paste one to you, pass it in headers (or inside json) and do not mention its value again. Tool results never show it.

Adding one

  1. Find out which server. Most services document either:
    • A URL (a remote server), as https://mcp.example.com/mcp. Call add_connector with url and a short name.
    • A JSON block in the mcpServers shape, with a command such as npx (a local server). Call add_connector with json set to that block, as text.
  2. The user is asked to approve the add. Then read the result:
    • connected: done. Say how many tools it offers.
    • needs sign-in: go to "Signing in".
    • waiting for the user to allow it to run: a local server runs a program on their computer, so only the user can allow it: Settings, Capabilities, Connectors, then Review and Allow on that connector. You cannot allow it, and no tool can. Tell them where to click, then check with list_connectors.
    • failed: go to "Fixing one".

If they do not know the URL or JSON, offer to look it up (the research skill) on the service's own documentation site.

Signing in

For a connector that needs sign-in, call connector_sign_in with its id. It opens the service's sign-in page in their browser, or gives you the address to pass on. Ask them to finish signing in there, then call list_connectors to confirm it is connected.

Only remote (URL) connectors sign in. A local one takes its keys as env values in Settings, Capabilities, Connectors.

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.
