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-reference-servers 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 10d 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.

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.

What it actually says

MCP Reference Servers Skill

When to Use

  • When building new MCP servers and needing a reference implementation.
  • When the user wants robust, community-tested servers for common tools (Filesystem, Google Search, Fetch, etc.).
  • When debugging MCP connection issues using standardized servers.

Reference

MCP Reference Servers GitHub

Instructions

1. Identify Target Server

  • Review the src directory in the reference repository to see available servers.
  • Common servers include:
  • fetch: For web page scraping.
  • filesystem: For local file access.
  • google-search: For web searching capabilities.
  • postgres: For database interaction.

2. Implementation & Setup

  • Most reference servers are built with Node.js/TypeScript or Python.
  • Follow the README.md within each sub-directory for build and run instructions.
  • Ensure the appropriate runtime (Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+) is installed.

3. Usage via MCP Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-name": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-name"],
      "env": {
        "ENV_VAR": "value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Quality Gates

  • Use npx for quick access without local installation unless performance is a concern.
  • Keep environment variables secure in protected configuration files.
  • Verify the server's capabilities via list_tools command after initialization.

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.
