Hex1b.McpServer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mitchdenny/hex1b. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for working with Hex1b, a .NET library for building terminal user interfaces, and its diagnostic tools. The tools can connect to running Hex1b apps and inspect their terminal state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find running Hex1b applications, connect to them, and capture their terminal screens for diagnosis.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a defined way to discover running diagnostic-enabled apps and examine what they are displaying.

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

Hex1b.McpServer 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 1mo 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.

Hex1b MCP Server Skill

This skill provides guidance for AI agents working with the Hex1b TUI (Terminal User Interface) library and its MCP diagnostic tools.

Overview

Hex1b is a .NET library for building terminal user interfaces with a React-inspired declarative API. The library ships to NuGet as Hex1b.

MCP Tools Reference

The Hex1b MCP server provides tools for interacting with running Hex1b applications that have diagnostics enabled.

Discovery Tools

GetHex1bStacksWithDiagnosticsEnabled

Lists all running Hex1b applications with diagnostics enabled.

  • Returns: Process IDs, app names, dimensions, and socket paths
  • Use this first to discover available applications to connect to
DiscoverHex1bStacks

Discovers and connects to all Hex1b applications with diagnostics enabled.

  • Returns session IDs for each connected application
  • Use session IDs with other tools

Capture Tools

CaptureHex1bTerminal

Captures the terminal screen state.

  • Parameters:
    • processId: Process ID of the Hex1b application
    • savePath: File path to save the capture
    • format: "ansi", "svg", or "text" (default: "ansi")
  • Use for visual debugging and documentation
CaptureTerminalScreen

Captures the terminal screen in various formats.

  • Parameters:
    • sessionId: Session ID of connected terminal
    • format: "text", "ansi", or "svg"
    • savePath: Optional file path to save
  • Unified capture for both local and remote terminals

Input Tools

SendInputToHex1bTerminal

Sends input characters to a Hex1b application.

  • Parameters:
    • processId: Process ID of the target application
    • input: Text to send (supports \n, \t, \x1b escape sequences)
  • Use for simulating user input
SendTerminalKey

Sends a special key to a terminal.

  • Parameters:
    • sessionId: Session ID of terminal
    • key: Key name (Enter, Tab, Escape, Up, Down, Left, Right, F1-F12, etc.)
    • modifiers: Optional array ["Ctrl", "Alt", "Shift"]
