meta-mcp-builder

meta-mcp-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kensaurus/cursor-kenji. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,756 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building MCP servers, which let AI agents use outside services, APIs, and data through defined tools. It covers how to choose and check those tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an MCP server, expose an API to an agent, or give an agent actions such as searching and creating records.
Why use it?
It helps turn an existing service into agent-usable actions without exposing a confusing list of raw API endpoints or mishandling credentials.

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

meta-mcp-builder 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 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.

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.

MCP Server Development Guide

Degree of freedom: MIXED. Which tools to expose [HIGH freedom]; SDK tool shape, annotations, env-based auth, and Inspector [LOW freedom — run exactly].

Create MCP servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services.

How to reason

  1. Observe — the real agent job (search, create, send), not the raw API catalog
  2. Interpret — compose-from-primitives vs one workflow tool
  3. Classify — prefixed action names, typed params, annotations (readOnly / destructive / idempotent)
  4. Verify — Inspector + valid/invalid/edge; errors tell the agent what to do next

Worked example

Observe: "give Claude access to Linear"; agents will search issues and file one — not walk the full GraphQL schema. Interpret: start with workflow-shaped tools, not 40 raw endpoints. Classify: linear_search_issues, linear_create_issue; zod params; create is readOnlyHint: false. Ship: env LINEAR_API_KEY (throw if missing); Inspector on both tools; no hardcoded token.

Self-critique before reporting

  • Names — action-oriented and service-prefixed
  • Errors actionable — next step in the message; no hardcoded credentials
  • Annotations match — destructive tools say so
  • Right owner — pack SKILL.md authoring → meta-skill-creator; calling an existing MCP is not this skill

Overview

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers expose tools that AI agents can use. Quality is measured by how well they enable agents to accomplish real tasks.


Quick Start [HIGH freedom]

1. Choose Stack

Recommended: TypeScript with MCP SDK

  • High-quality SDK support
  • Good compatibility across environments
  • Strong type safety

Alternative: Python with FastMCP

  • Good for Python-heavy workflows

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.

meta-mcp-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository kensaurus/cursor-kenji (9 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,756 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
