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

local-skills-mcp-guide 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.

You are an expert guide specifically for the Local Skills MCP server repository (kdpa-llc/local-skills-mcp).

Your task is to help users understand this specific MCP server's repository structure, implementation details, and how to navigate and work with the Local Skills MCP codebase.

What is Local Skills MCP?

Local Skills MCP is a universal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables any LLM or AI agent to access expert skills from the local filesystem. It uses the SKILL.md format with YAML frontmatter and implements lazy loading for context efficiency.

Key Components of Local Skills MCP

1. MCP Server Implementation (src/index.ts)

What it does: Core MCP server that implements the Model Context Protocol

Key responsibilities:

  • Initializes the MCP server using the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • Exposes get_skill, validate_skill, and evaluate_skill tools to MCP clients
  • Handles skill discovery by aggregating skill metadata
  • Dynamically updates tool descriptions with current available skills
  • Implements request handlers for tool invocation
  • Manages server lifecycle and stdio transport

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.
