ai-mcp

ai-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from TanStack/ai. It costs 77 tokens per session (14,075 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A server-side client for connecting TanStack AI chat loops to external MCP servers. MCP is a standard way for an application to discover and call tools, read data, and use prompts provided by another server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect over HTTP, server-sent events, or standard input/output; run external tools; read resources and prompts; and generate TypeScript types for tool signatures.
Why use it?
It avoids writing a separate integration for each external tool provider and keeps those tools available through the chat loop.

About the project

TanStack AI is a TypeScript SDK for building applications that stream AI responses, call tools, run agents, produce structured output, and handle multimodal or realtime interactions. Developers use it across frameworks and AI providers through shared typed interfaces and provider adapters. The catalogue entries are add-ons for working with this SDK.

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

ai-mcp scanned grade A 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.

@tanstack/ai-mcp

This skill covers the @tanstack/ai-mcp package. Read ai-core/tool-calling/SKILL.md first — MCP tools flow into chat() the same way hand-written tools do. If you host the tools yourself, use createMCPServer.

When to use this package

Use @tanstack/ai-mcp when:

  • A third-party MCP server exposes tools you want an agent or chat loop to call.
  • You want to read MCP server resources (files, text, data) or prompts into a chat() message list.
  • You want generated TypeScript types for an external MCP server's tool signatures (via the bundled generate CLI).
  • You are running tool execution on the server side and want to connect to MCP servers with HTTP (Streamable HTTP or SSE) or stdio transports.
  • You want to expose your own tools as an MCP server over HTTP or stdio.

Do NOT use this package for browser/client-side code — MCP connections are server-side only.

Install

pnpm add @tanstack/ai-mcp

The package has these subpaths:

  • . exports createMCPClient, createMCPClients, converters, and types.
  • ./stdio exports the Node-only client transport stdioTransport.
  • ./server exports createMCPServer.
  • ./server/stdio exports serveMCPStdio.
  • ./apps exports createMcpAppCallHandler.
  • ./harness exports createHarnessMcpServer and the mcp() harness plugin. createHarnessMcpServer serves a TanStack AI harness as an MCP server. See docs/harness/mcp-server.md, and "mcp(): MCP servers in a harness" below.
  • ./connector exports mcpConnector: one OAuth MCP server as a harness plugin. See docs/harness/mcp.md.
  • ./events exports createMCPEventWebhook, inMemoryMCPEventStore, and createMCPEventSecret (experimental MCP Events / SEP-3415).

Import ./stdio and ./server/stdio only from Node code. Those entries use Node I/O.

Host an MCP server

Import createMCPServer from @tanstack/ai-mcp/server. Pass tools from toolDefinition().server(). Call server.fetch(request) in your HTTP route.
