mcp_registry_tools

mcp_registry_tools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NimbleBrainInc/mcp-registry-tools. It costs 0 tokens per session (145 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for finding and inspecting MCP servers, which are services that give coding agents extra tools. It covers searching a registry, checking package details and credentials, and planning multi-step tool use.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for searching the MCP registry, resolving a package, reviewing its tools and credential needs, and checking verification details.
Why use it?
It helps you choose a suitable server and check its requirements before using it, instead of guessing from search results alone.

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_registry_tools 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (__init__.py, registry_client.py, server.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Registry Tools

Tool Selection

Intent Tool
Find available MCP servers registry_search(query)
Get package details/requirements registry_resolve(package, version?)

Multi-Step Workflows

Find and inspect an MCP server

  1. registry_search(query) to find matching servers
  2. registry_resolve(package) to check credential requirements and available tools

Key Patterns

  • Always call registry_resolve after finding a package to see its full details and credential requirements.
  • Search is fuzzy. Try different terms if the first search doesn't find what you need.
  • Results include verification status and certification level to help assess trust.
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
