Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00072 | $0.00684 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00274 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
example-server 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 17d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Example MCP server
This server is the MCP TypeScript template. It ships example tools so a client can prove the connection works, and it publishes this skill through the MCP Skills extension so a host can discover packaged agent guidance next to those tools.
When to use this skill
Use it when:
- The user wants to try the template server's example tools.
- You need the arguments and results for
echoandelicit_echo. - You are checking whether this bundled skill still describes the connected server.
Leave it unused when the connected server's tool list no longer includes echo or elicit_echo. Follow that server's tools and whichever skill replaced this one.
Example tools
echo
Call echo with a message string. The tool echoes that string. A successful result includes text content and structuredContent of { "echo": "<message>" }. The tool reads no external state.
elicit_echo
Call elicit_echo with no arguments. The server asks the host to prompt the user for a message, then echoes the message the user accepts. A decline or cancel returns a result that explains why no message was echoed. A host that cannot collect input fails the call.
Replacing this skill
This file is the template's example, in the same way echo is the example tool.
- Add a directory under
skills/whose name is the skill'sname. - Add
SKILL.mdwith YAML frontmatter (nameanddescription) and the workflow instructions. - Add supporting files beside
SKILL.mdwhen the workflow needs them. The server lists every file in the skill directory in that skill's manifest. - Remove
skills/example-server/once a real skill replaces it. Delete every skill directory, and leaveskills/in place, to publish none.
The server publishes each valid, non-hidden skill directory under skills/. A directory that exists needs a non-empty SKILL.md, and name must match the directory name. Startup fails when that file is missing, the frontmatter is invalid, a text file is not valid UTF-8, or the skill exceeds the extension's file limits. With no skill directories, the server does not advertise the extension.
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.

example-server is a skill published in the GitHub repository nickytonline/mcp-typescript-template (60 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 684 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-13.
