mcporter

mcporter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from metaspartan/cybara. It costs 41 tokens per session (406 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mcporter, MIT.

A command-line tool for discovering, configuring, authenticating, and calling MCP servers, which are connections that give an AI agent external tools. It can also generate command-line or TypeScript interfaces from server definitions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list servers and tool schemas, call tools with arguments, manage configuration and authentication, run a daemon, or generate CLI and TypeScript clients.
Why use it?
It avoids manually managing different MCP server connections and makes their available tools easier to inspect and call. Machine-readable JSON output can help scripts consume results.

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

mcporter 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to mcporter — 25 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
