mcp-tool-discovery-guide

mcp-tool-discovery-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 59 tokens per session (985 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to finding MCP servers, which connect AI assistants to outside tools and services. It searches sources such as GitHub, npm, and the official MCP Registry, then creates configuration files and integration guides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Discovering MCP servers by topic, repository, organization, or npm search; checking their tools and APIs; and generating setup files.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually search repositories, inspect APIs, and write setup configuration for each server.

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-tool-discovery-guide 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.

AI Analysis

For each discovered server, the AI analyzes:

Aspect What's Checked
Quality Documentation, tests, CI, TypeScript types
Security Dependencies, practices, known vulnerabilities
Compatibility MCP version, transport type (stdio/SSE)
Functionality Number of tools, tool descriptions
Relevance Match to your search criteria

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.
