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 5.1 | $0.00028 | $0.01581 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00632 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00316 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00158 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-debug 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 25d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 260 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Before using MCP debug commands, ensure mcptools is installed:
# Check if installed
which mcp || which mcpt
# Install via Homebrew (macOS)
brew tap f/mcptools && brew install mcp
# Or via Go
go install github.com/f/mcptools/cmd/mcptools@latest
If mcptools is not found, install it first before proceeding.
- Claude Code config:
~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Direct URL:
http://localhost:9900with optional auth - mcptools aliases: Previously saved with
mcp alias add
To find available servers:
# Scan all known config locations
mcp configs scan
# List saved aliases
mcp alias list
List Tools
See what tools/operations an MCP server provides:
# HTTP server with bearer auth
mcp tools http://localhost:9900 --headers "Authorization=Bearer $AUTH_TOKEN"
# Using an alias
mcp tools server-alias
# Pretty JSON output
mcp tools --format pretty http://localhost:9900
Call a Tool
Execute an MCP tool directly with parameters:
# Call with JSON params
mcp call describe --params '{"action":"describe"}' http://localhost:9900 \
--headers "Authorization=Bearer $AUTH_TOKEN"
# Gateway-style (single tool with action param)
mcp call server-tool --params '{"action":"messages_recent","params":{"limit":5}}' \
http://localhost:9900 --headers "Authorization=Bearer $AUTH_TOKEN"
# Format output as pretty JSON
mcp call tool_name --params '{}' --format pretty http://localhost:9900
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-debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository TechNickAI/ai-coding-config (24 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,581 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-22.
