native-mcp

native-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from math-inc/OpenGauss. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A built-in client for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard way for an AI agent to connect to outside tools and services. It discovers tools from local or remote MCP servers and makes them available to the agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect to MCP servers started with commands such as npx or uvx, or to remote HTTP servers, and use their tools in conversations.
Why use it?
It lets an agent use capabilities such as files, GitHub, databases, or APIs without a separate bridge command. It can reconnect automatically and filter connections for security.

About the project

OpenGauss is a project-scoped Lean workflow orchestrator that gives coding agents a command-line interface for managing formal proof and formalization tasks. It is used with Lean projects to coordinate agents, tooling, backend sessions, and workflows supplied by lean4-skills. The catalogue add-ons operate these Gauss-native workflows.

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

native-mcp 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.

Native MCP Client

Gauss Agent has a built-in MCP client that connects to MCP servers at startup, discovers their tools, and makes them available as first-class tools the agent can call directly. No bridge CLI needed -- tools from MCP servers appear alongside built-in tools like terminal, read_file, etc.

When to Use

Use this whenever you want to:

  • Connect to MCP servers and use their tools from within Gauss Agent
  • Add external capabilities (filesystem access, GitHub, databases, APIs) via MCP
  • Run local stdio-based MCP servers (npx, uvx, or any command)
  • Connect to remote HTTP/StreamableHTTP MCP servers
  • Have MCP tools auto-discovered and available in every conversation

For ad-hoc, one-off MCP tool calls from the terminal without configuring anything, see the mcporter skill instead.

Prerequisites

  • mcp Python package -- optional dependency; install with pip install mcp. If not installed, MCP support is silently disabled.
  • Node.js -- required for npx-based MCP servers (most community servers)
  • uv -- required for uvx-based MCP servers (Python-based servers)

Install the MCP SDK:

pip install mcp
# or, if using uv:
uv pip install mcp

Quick Start

Add MCP servers to ~/.gauss/config.yaml under the mcp_servers key:

mcp_servers:
  time:
    command: "uvx"
    args: ["mcp-server-time"]

Restart Gauss Agent. On startup it will:

  1. Connect to the server
  2. Discover available tools
  3. Register them with the prefix mcp_time_*
  4. Inject them into all platform toolsets

You can then use the tools naturally -- just ask the agent to get the current time.

Configuration Reference

Each entry under mcp_servers is a server name mapped to its config. There are two transport types: stdio (command-based) and HTTP (url-based).

Stdio Transport (command + args)

mcp_servers:
  server_name:
    command: "npx"             # (required) executable to run
    args: ["-y", "pkg-name"]   # (optional) command arguments, default: []
    env:                       # (optional) environment variables for the subprocess
      SOME_API_KEY: "value"
    timeout: 120               # (optional) per-tool-call timeout in seconds, default: 120
    connect_timeout: 60        # (optional) initial connection timeout in seconds, default: 60

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.
