mcp-management

mcp-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tamnguyendinh/Anvien. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,409 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ck:mcp-management, MIT.

A tool for managing MCP servers, which let AI agents connect to outside tools and data. It helps discover and use the capabilities provided by those servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list available MCP tools, prompts, and data resources, choose capabilities for a task, call MCP tools, or build and debug MCP clients.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of finding the right external tool and handling several server connections. It also keeps discovery details out of the main conversation.

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

mcp-management 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/cli.ts, scripts/mcp-client.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

MCP Management

Skill for managing and interacting with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

Overview

MCP is an open protocol enabling AI agents to connect to external tools and data sources. This skill provides scripts and utilities to discover, analyze, and execute MCP capabilities from configured servers without polluting the main context window.

Key Benefits:

  • Progressive disclosure of MCP capabilities (load only what's needed)
  • Intelligent tool/prompt/resource selection based on task requirements
  • Multi-server management from single config file
  • Context-efficient: subagents handle MCP discovery and execution
  • Persistent tool catalog: automatically saves discovered tools to JSON for fast reference

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  1. Discovering MCP Capabilities: Need to list available tools/prompts/resources from configured servers
  2. Task-Based Tool Selection: Analyzing which MCP tools are relevant for a specific task
  3. Executing MCP Tools: Calling MCP tools programmatically with proper parameter handling
  4. MCP Integration: Building or debugging MCP client implementations
  5. Context Management: Avoiding context pollution by delegating MCP operations to subagents

Core Capabilities

1. Configuration Management

MCP servers configured in .claude/.mcp.json.

Gemini CLI Integration (recommended): Create symlink to .gemini/settings.json:

mkdir -p .gemini && ln -sf .claude/.mcp.json .gemini/settings.json

See references/configuration.md and references/gemini-cli-integration.md.

2. Capability Discovery

npx tsx scripts/cli.ts list-tools  # Saves to assets/tools.json
npx tsx scripts/cli.ts list-prompts
npx tsx scripts/cli.ts list-resources

Aggregates capabilities from multiple servers with server identification.

3. Intelligent Tool Analysis

LLM analyzes assets/tools.json directly - better than keyword matching algorithms.
