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

arcane-mcp-server 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 8d 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.

Arcane Docker Management

Guides effective use of the Arcane MCP server's 180+ tools for Docker infrastructure management. This skill activates when users ask about Docker operations and arcane_* tools are available.

Announce: "Using the arcane-mcp-server skill to guide this Docker operation."

Prerequisites

Before any operation, you need an environment ID. If the user hasn't specified one:

  1. Call arcane_environment_list to show available environments
  2. If only one exists, use it automatically
  3. If multiple exist, ask which one
  4. If ARCANE_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_ID is configured, use that as fallback

Intent Mapping

When the user says something general, map it to the right tool sequence:

User says Tools to use
"What's running?" / "Show me my containers" arcane_container_list
"How's everything looking?" / "Status" arcane_dashboard_get then arcane_dashboard_get_action_items
"Deploy this compose file" arcane_project_create then arcane_project_up
"Update everything" arcane_image_update_check_all then arcane_updater_run (with dryRun: true first)
"What needs attention?" arcane_dashboard_get_action_items
"Is anything vulnerable?" arcane_vulnerability_get_environment_summary
"Set up a new stack" arcane_project_create with compose YAML
"Scale this up" arcane_swarm_scale_service (swarm) or redeploy with updated config (compose)
"Something's broken" / "Debug" See Troubleshooting workflow below
"Clean up" / "Free space" See Cleanup workflow below
"Show me the ports" arcane_port_list
"Connect a new registry" arcane_registry_create

Core Workflows

Safe Deployment

Always follow this sequence for deploying or updating projects:

  1. Check current statearcane_project_get to see what's running
  2. Pull images firstarcane_project_pull_images to fetch latest
  3. Deployarcane_project_up or arcane_project_redeploy
  4. Verifyarcane_container_list to confirm containers are running

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.
