connectors-directory-spec

connectors-directory-spec is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pantani/tdmcp. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A submission guide for listing tdmcp in Anthropic's Connectors Directory, the catalogue of extensions shown in Codex Desktop. It explains that tdmcp must be submitted as a local Desktop Extension because it runs on the user's computer and connects to TouchDesigner there.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft, check, or fix a tdmcp directory submission, including its extension format, form fields, and local-server explanation.
Why use it?
Choosing the wrong submission route can delay or prevent review. The guide identifies the correct form and the requirements that apply to this local extension.

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

connectors-directory-spec 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 12d 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.

Anthropic Connectors Directory — tdmcp submission spec

The "Codex marketplace" is the Anthropic Connectors Directory, surfaced in Codex Desktop at Settings → Extensions → Browse extensions ("Anthropic-reviewed tools"). There are two submission paths with separate forms — picking the wrong one wastes a ~2-week review cycle.

Path decision — tdmcp is a Desktop Extension (MCPB)

Path For tdmcp?
Remote MCP server (internet-hosted, OAuth 2.0) → MCP Directory form SaaS-style connectors Codex reaches over the network NO
Desktop Extension (local MCP server bundled as MCPB) → Desktop extension form Local servers that run on the user's machine YES

Why local: tdmcp is a Node/stdio server that talks to a Python bridge running inside TouchDesigner at 127.0.0.1:9980. It cannot be hosted remotely — it must run next to TD on the artist's machine. So OAuth/hosting requirements do not apply; ignore them. Submit via the Desktop extension form (linked from the official submission docs page).

.dxt was renamed to .mcpb (MCP Bundle). Existing .dxt still installs, but new submissions should ship .mcpb. See the mcpb-bundle skill.

Approval gates (these cause rejection)

Gate Requirement tdmcp status
Privacy policy Present + complete. Missing = immediate rejection. TODO — docs-author writes it (local-only ⇒ short)
Tool annotations Every tool has safety hints (readOnlyHint/destructiveHint). Missing = ~30% of all rejections. PASS — all tools annotated (verified in src/tools/**)
Production-ready Not beta. Stable, versioned, installable. PASS — v0.3.0 on npm + MCP registry
Public docs URL Setup + usage docs. PASS — https://pantani.github.io/tdmcp/
Data-handling statement What data is handled and where it goes. TODO — trivial (see below)
Branding Logo / icon. PASS — docs/public/logo-400.png (400×400) + favicon
Installable bundle A valid .mcpb. TODO — bundle-engineer migrates .dxt.mcpb

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.
