MCP Developer

MCP Developer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Vasallo94/obsidian-mcp-server. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,369 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for extending and maintaining an Obsidian MCP server, which lets an assistant work with notes and related vault data. It covers the server's code structure, testing, packages, configuration, and logging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Adding or changing tools and resources, fixing bugs, improving performance, running tests or linters, and updating configuration or logging.
Why use it?
It gives developers a shared approach for changing the server without losing track of where each part belongs.

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 Developer 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 5d 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.

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.
