port-getting-started

port-getting-started is a skill for Claude Code from port-labs/port-skills. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for connecting Port to a coding agent, including the Port MCP server and optionally the Port command-line tool. Port is a platform for managing connected software and team information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a Port account, identify the correct regional server, and connect Port to tools such as Cursor, Claude, or VS Code.
Why use it?
It lets the agent read the live Port account and apply changes directly instead of making you copy configuration by hand.

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

port-getting-started 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.

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.

Getting started with Port

Every other skill in this repo produces correct Port config either way, but without Port's MCP server connected, you're copying that config in by hand. With it connected, the agent can read your live account and apply changes directly. Do this once, first.

Prerequisites

None. This is the first skill to run.

How to get started

  1. Sign up for a Port account at app.port.io if you don't have one yet.

  2. Find your Port region. Check your Port app's base URL: if it contains us, you're on the US region; otherwise you're on EU.

    Region MCP server URL
    EU https://mcp.port.io/v1
    US https://mcp.us.port.io/v1
  3. Connect Port's MCP server to your coding agent, using the URL for your region from the table above:

    Client How to connect
    Cursor Install EU or add an MCP server manually with your region's URL
    Claude (claude.ai / Claude Desktop) Install from the Claude directory, then enter your region's MCP server URL when prompted
    VS Code Add port-eu or port-us as an MCP server using the URL for your region
    Claude Code (CLI) claude mcp add --transport http port-eu https://mcp.port.io/v1 (or port-us / https://mcp.us.port.io/v1)
    Any other MCP-compatible agent Point it at your region's URL, or follow the manual install docs

    This repo's own .mcp.json already ships both port-eu and port-us servers, so installing this plugin gets you both — disable whichever region doesn't apply to your account.

  4. Optional: install the Port CLI. Beyond MCP, it covers day-to-day resource management from the terminal, and port skills sync pulls any skills your org has already configured in Port straight into your coding agent's skill directory.

  5. Once connected, prefer Port's own tools over guesswork. Every skill in this repo notes where it can call Port's MCP tools directly (to read live state or apply a change) instead of just handing you config to copy in. If a skill doesn't cover something you need, search Port's documentation from inside the agent with the search_port_knowledge_sources MCP tool rather than guessing.

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.
