mcp-setup

mcp-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. MCP servers add outside tools to Claude Code, such as web search, file access, or GitHub integration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install recommended MCP servers, configure one popular server, or add a custom server over standard input/output or HTTP.
Why use it?
It avoids manually constructing command-line configuration for each external tool.

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

mcp-setup 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 yesterday.

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 Setup

Configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to extend Claude Code's capabilities with external tools like web search, file system access, and GitHub integration.

Overview

MCP servers provide additional tools that Claude Code agents can use. This skill helps you configure popular MCP servers using the claude mcp add command-line interface.

Step 1: Choose a Setup Path

Use AskUserQuestion with one question at a time and no more than 3 options per question. Recent Claude Code builds reject larger option payloads as invalid tool parameters, so keep the MCP selection flow staged.

Step 1.1: First menu

Question: "What kind of MCP setup would you like?"

Options:

  1. Recommended starter setup - Fast path for the most common OMC MCP additions
  2. Individual popular server - Pick one built-in server from a short follow-up menu
  3. Custom server - Add your own stdio or HTTP MCP server

Step 1.2: If the user chooses "Recommended starter setup"

Ask a follow-up AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Which recommended MCP bundle should I configure?"

Options:

  1. Context7 only (Recommended) - Zero-config docs/context server
  2. Context7 + Exa - Docs/context plus enhanced web search
  3. Full recommended bundle - Context7, Exa, Filesystem, and GitHub

Map that choice to the server list you will configure.

Step 1.3: If the user chooses "Individual popular server"

Ask a follow-up AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Which server should I configure first?"

Options:

  1. Context7 (Recommended) - Documentation and code context from popular libraries
  2. Exa Web Search - Enhanced web search (replaces built-in websearch)
  3. More server choices - Filesystem, GitHub, or the full recommended bundle

If the user chooses More server choices, ask one more AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Which additional MCP option do you want?"

Options:

  1. Filesystem (Recommended) - Extended file system access with additional capabilities
  2. GitHub - GitHub API integration for issues, PRs, and repository management
  3. Full recommended bundle - Configure Context7, Exa, Filesystem, and GitHub together

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.
