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.

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 | $0.00040 | $0.03116 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.01558 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00623 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00312 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-server-architect 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 3d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to mcp-server-architect — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.

mcp-server-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository sandraschi/observability-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 3,116 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to mcp-server-architect, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

clawmetry-selfcheck
Read your own agent telemetry from ClawMetry (waste, progress, cost) and act on it before finishing a task. Use when ClawMetry is installed on this machine and you want to check whether you are re-reading files, spinning in loops, or burning budget.
openstatus-mcp
Use the openstatus MCP server to read and update status pages, status reports, and maintenance windows from any Model Context Protocol client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.). Use when an AI assistant needs to post an incident, append an update, resolve a report, or schedule maintenance for an openstatus workspace.
openstatus-api
Call the openstatus public API (ConnectRPC, JSON over HTTP) to manage monitors, status pages, status reports, and maintenance windows. Use when building integrations, automating monitoring as code, or driving openstatus from a script outside an MCP client.
clawmetry
Real-time observability for OpenClaw agents — local dashboard + optional encrypted cloud sync. Tracks costs, tokens, sessions, tool calls, memory, crons, and system health. Access from anywhere via ClawMetry Cloud.
frontmcp-observability
