grok-build-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/grok-mcp/SKILL.md

grok-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zai-one/grok-build-mcp. It costs 75 tokens per session (314 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A router for an unofficial Grok integration that manages multi-step Grok agent sessions. It requires a defined session flow in which the assistant starts a session, handles one task at a time, checks progress, and ends the session when finished.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start and manage Grok sessions, execute approved task steps, poll running jobs, review results, and finish the session.
Why use it?
It provides a prescribed way to coordinate Grok tasks and handle failed tool requests or jobs that need polling.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is zai-one/grok-build-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on grok-build-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything grok-build-mcp configures →

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

grok-mcp 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check_ready.sh, scripts/draft_issue.py, scripts/update_mcp.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

grok-mcp

Unofficial — not xAI/Grok. Auth = grok login only.

Token budget protocol

  1. grok_agent_session_begin once (goal, host_budget=small)
  2. Loop grok_agent_session_next — execute only the card (host_cmd | mcp_tool | end)
  3. Execute cards carry a full task; poll cards are {job_id} only
  4. Schema / unknown-tool failure → typed consult → execute → poll → review (references/execute.md)
  5. When done=truegrok_agent_session_end, then stop

Do not open references/* unless blocked. Do not re-plan. Do not pin a Grok CLI version.

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.
