surrealmcp

surrealmcp is a skill for Claude Code from skillmds/skillmd. It costs 58 tokens per session (496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Model Context Protocol server for SurrealDB, a database that stores application data. It supports connecting AI agents to SurrealDB through local or networked interfaces and documents authentication and deployment options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect an AI agent to a SurrealDB database, either with the database's built-in server or a standalone server running from source or in Docker.
Why use it?
It removes some of the setup needed for an agent to work with SurrealDB and distinguishes local connections from network connections with authentication.

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

surrealmcp 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

SurrealDB MCP for AI Agents

Two MCP surfaces exist as of SurrealDB 3.1:

Surface When to use
Built-in (surreal mcp, HTTP /mcp) Local IDE hosts; simplest setup with the main surreal binary
Standalone (surrealmcp start) Extended tool catalog, cloud helpers, multi-endpoint switching

Built-in MCP (SurrealDB 3.1+)

# stdio — typical MCP host config
surreal mcp --endpoint ws://127.0.0.1:8000/rpc --ns test --db test \
  --user root --pass root

Security: stdio MCP grants owner-level tool access with no login step. Do not expose to untrusted hosts. HTTP /mcp requires normal SurrealDB authentication.

See rules/surrealmcp.md for env vars and tool hints.

Standalone surrealmcp (v0.4.0)

Not published to crates.io or npm. Install from source or Docker:

git clone https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealmcp
cd surrealmcp && cargo install --path .

# Or Docker
docker run --rm -i --pull always surrealdb/surrealmcp:latest start \
  --endpoint ws://localhost:8000/rpc --ns test --db test

The start subcommand is mandatory. Full tool catalog and host wiring: rules/surrealmcp.md.

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.
