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 | $0.00016 | $0.02056 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.01028 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00411 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00206 |
Grade B, and why
shipkit-get-mcps scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping
mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

shipkit-get-mcps - MCP Discovery & Installation
Purpose: Discover and install MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to extend Claude's capabilities.
Core value: User knows to ask — Claude handles discovery and installation.
Why This Skill Exists
You don't naturally know what MCPs exist or that they could help.
| Without Skill | With Skill |
|---|---|
| User doesn't know MCPs exist | User invokes /get-mcps |
| User manually searches, edits config | Claude searches, presents options, installs |
| User misses useful capabilities | Claude suggests relevant MCPs |
When to Invoke
User says:
- "Get MCPs for database"
- "Is there an MCP for Playwright?"
- "I need browser automation"
- "Find MCPs", "Search MCPs"
- "Add an MCP for Supabase"
- "What MCPs are available?"
- "Show me popular MCPs"
- "Recommend an MCP"
Auto-suggest when:
- User struggles with a task that an MCP could help with
- User asks about external service integration
For catalog questions: Load references/popular-mcps.md and present options.
Prerequisites
Required:
- Node.js installed (most MCPs use npx)
- Internet connection for discovery
Not required:
- No manifest or registry account needed
- Claude searches on behalf of user
Completion Tracking
When installing an MCP, create tasks:
TaskCreate: "Search/discover MCP options"TaskCreate: "Read existing .mcp.json (merge, don't overwrite)"TaskCreate: "Detect platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) for correct config"TaskCreate: "Write updated .mcp.json"TaskCreate: "Post-install: restart reminder + prerequisite warnings"
TaskUpdate each task to in_progress when starting it, completed when done.
Writing .mcp.json must MERGE with existing MCPs, not overwrite. Platform detection determines whether to use npx directly or cmd wrapper.
Process
Step 1: Understand Need
When user mentions a need:
User: I need to interact with my database
Claude: I can search for MCPs that provide database integration.
What database are you using? (Postgres, Supabase, MongoDB, etc.)
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

shipkit-get-mcps is a skill published in the GitHub repository stefan-stepzero/shipkit (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 2,056 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads mcp configuration). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
