What is mcp-config-ops?

A maintenance workflow for installing or repairing MCP settings in Claude Desktop or Claude Code. MCP settings tell these clients which external tool servers to start.

Use it to inspect MCP configuration, back up files, install or repair the Claude clients' settings, and verify the result.

It reduces configuration drift and protects existing settings by checking status and creating backups before changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00036	$0.00544
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00218
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00109
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00054

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-config-ops 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 2mo 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.

Mcp Config Ops

Overview

Use this skill when a task touches MCP client configuration rather than core model behavior. It standardizes status checks, backup discipline, installer flows, and config-drift troubleshooting for the repository's Node-to-Python bootstrap path.

Standard Workflow

Inspect the current state:
```
node bin/openrouter-mcp.js status
```
Identify the target client:
- Claude Desktop
- Claude Code
- both
Back up any config file before mutation.

Apply one installer or repair action at a time:

node bin/openrouter-mcp.js install-claude
node bin/openrouter-mcp.js install-claude-code

Re-run status and inspect the written config path.
If documentation changed, verify that package names and command examples still match the actual CLI path.

Backup And Restore Rules

Never overwrite a user config file without first capturing a backup path.
If the installer already creates backups, record where they are.
If an install or migration goes wrong, restore the backup before trying a second fix path.

Consistency Checks

Check command examples against the actual package scope:

rg -n "@physics91/openrouter-mcp|openrouter-mcp" README.md docs

Watch for drift between install docs and actual CLI behavior.
Treat Node/Python bootstrap issues as part of config operations when they block installation or status checks.

Recovery Pattern

If config drift or install failure is reported:

Capture the failing path and command.
Compare generated config with the documented expected shape.
Restore backup if the generated output is clearly wrong.
Re-run a single installer path.
Finish by running status again.

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.
