mcpc: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/mcpc-core/SKILL.md

mcpc-core is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mcpc-tech/mcpc. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,148 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for building MCP servers whose tools can call and combine other MCP tools. MCP is a standard way for AI clients to use functions exposed by another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compose tools, define how an agent should use them, configure connected MCP servers, add plugins, load skills, and choose how requests are handled.
Why use it?
It removes much of the custom wiring needed to turn several existing tools into one agent-like tool.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is mcpc-tech/mcpc's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on mcpc 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 mcpc configures →

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

mcpc-core 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.

@mcpc/core — Build Agentic MCP Servers

@mcpc/core lets you compose existing MCP tools into agentic MCP tools. You write a description that references tools via <tool> XML tags, and MCPC wires everything up into a working MCP server.

Installation

# Deno (preferred in this repo)
deno add jsr:@mcpc/core

# npm
npm install @mcpc-tech/core

# pnpm (from JSR)
pnpm add jsr:@mcpc/core

Minimal Example

import { mcpc } from "@mcpc/core";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";

const server = await mcpc(
  [{ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: { tools: {} } }],
  [{
    name: "file-agent",
    description: `I help manage files.
Available tools:
<tool name="@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander.read_file"/>
<tool name="@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander.write_file"/>`,
    deps: {
      mcpServers: {
        "@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander": {
          command: "npx",
          args: ["-y", "@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander@latest"],
          transportType: "stdio",
        },
      },
    },
  }],
);

await server.connect(new StdioServerTransport());

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.
