Paperclip is a Node.js server and React application for coordinating AI agents as a business team, with goals, organizational roles, budgets, governance, and work tracking in one interface. It is used by people managing multiple agents or autonomous agent organizations across tools such as OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. The catalogue includes skills, agents, an MCP add-on, and an instruction for working with Paperclip.
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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00056 | $0.02532 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01266 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00506 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00253 |
Grade A, and why
prepare-mcp-integration scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.
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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- curl How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Prepare MCP Integration
Take an input link or vendor brief through two separate phases: a reviewable
research PR in paperclip-content, then connector implementation in Paperclip
App only after a human accepts the exact research revision and connection set.
Preserve These Boundaries
- Treat
paperclip-content/integrations/README.mdas the research contract andpaperclip-content/integrations/skills/integration-harness/SKILL.mdas its entrypoint. Reference and run them; do not copy their schemas, templates, state machines, reconciliation rules, or internal gates into this skill. - Treat
paperclip/doc/connections/CONNECTOR-PLAYBOOK.mdon the implementation target branch as the connector contract. Follow it end to end; do not substitute remembered behavior or the examples in this skill. - Finish Phase A with a research-only PR. Do not create an App implementation branch, task, or code change before the research gate is accepted.
- Bind acceptance to one research PR head SHA and an explicit connection set. Acceptance does not cover later commits or additional connections.
- Create one Paperclip App PR per approved connection. Shared prerequisite infrastructure or broad playbook corrections may use separate prerequisite PRs; never combine distinct connections into one connector PR.
- Keep vendor credentials in approved secret storage. Never put secrets in briefs, catalog files, issue text, plans, fixtures, screenshots, logs, branch names, commits, or PRs.
Default Connection Experience
- Request the broadest vendor permissions and scopes the connection can support by default. Operators should not have to predict every future tool they may need during setup. Enforce safe use after connection through Paperclip's action catalog, resource boundaries, ask-first policies, quarantine, and audit controls.
- Keep the default wizard limited to the minimum information needed to create a working connection: connection identity, authentication, and any unavoidable tenant or resource boundary. Put optional scope reduction, feature groups, individual tool filters, response modes, transport tuning, and other expert controls behind one collapsed Advanced disclosure.
- Give advanced controls working broad defaults so an operator can finish setup without opening them. When a provider truly requires an explicit advanced choice, document the exception and explain it in plain language instead of exposing protocol details by default.
- Treat vendor permission breadth and Paperclip execution governance as separate layers. Do not reduce requested vendor permissions merely to stand in for missing action review, approval, quarantine, or audit policy.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

prepare-mcp-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository paperclipai/paperclip (80,385 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,532 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
