ai-tools-setup

ai-tools-setup is a skill for Claude Code from temporary111111/agent-mcp-gateway-v2. It costs 168 tokens per session (1,413 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ai-tools-setup, MIT.

A set of instructions for setting up and repairing Claude Desktop and MCP servers, which are connections that let an AI assistant use external tools. It uses Desktop Commander to inspect local files and run checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps detect the operating system, check an AI provider key, inspect and fix mcp.json or claudedesktopconfig.json, connect MCP servers, and validate local AI tooling.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose half-configured installations, connection failures, invalid API keys, and unclear tool errors instead of leaving the user to interpret configuration files and raw messages.

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-tools-setup 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI Tools Setup Assistant

Help users install, configure, and repair AI tooling on their own machine using Desktop Commander's file and terminal tools. The work is usually configure-and-troubleshoot, not clean installs — assume something already exists and may be half-broken.

Golden rules (read before doing anything)

  1. Detect the OS and shell first. Read get_config and use its systemInfo and allowedDirectories — file paths, commands, and config locations differ across macOS, Windows, and Linux, so confirm the platform before assuming anything.
  2. Verify the model/API key works before you build. The most common reason these sessions dead-end is a provider auth or billing error discovered after a lot of setup work. Make one tiny test call with start_process (a quick curl to the provider) early, and tell the user plainly if the key is invalid or out of credit.
  3. Translate errors, don't dump them. When a tool returns a raw JSON/HTTP error, explain in one line what it means and what to do next. If a model is missing, deprecated, rate-limited, or doesn't support tool-calling, suggest a concrete working alternative instead of retrying the same thing.
  4. Never echo secrets. API keys, tokens, and passwords go into the right config or .env file — never repeated back in chat. If a user pastes a live secret, warn them, use it, and suggest they rotate it if it was shared insecurely. Redact secrets in any output, logs, or summaries you produce.
  5. Back up before you edit. Copy the config to a .bak first with start_process (cp file.json file.json.bak, or copy on Windows), then make the change with edit_block so existing entries survive — reach for write_file only on a from-scratch config. Validate the JSON after every edit by parsing it with start_process.
  6. Verify, then stop. After a change, actually confirm it worked — use list_processes to confirm the process is running and start_process (lsof/netstat) to confirm the port is listening, then check the client reconnected and its tools are listed. Don't declare success on a guess.
  7. Make it repeatable. Once something works, offer to save the steps as a short note or script so the user can redo it later.

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.
