What it does

Testing Scope MCP is an agent skill from daydreamlive/scope. Test Daydream Scope through its stdio MCP server, including disconnected startup, connecttoscope, direct Python stdio client fallback, and lightweight smoke tests. Use when testing Scope via MCP, debugging MCP registration, or when a workflow depends on connecttoscope, loadpipeline, startstream, or captureframe.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering MCP servers and QA and bug reports. It works with Model Context Protocol and Python. The repository describes itself as: A tool for running and customizing real-time, interactive generative AI pipelines and models.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing Scope via MCP
  • Debugging MCP registration
  • A workflow depends on connecttoscope

Example prompts

  • “/testing-scope-mcp”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start or identify the target Scope HTTP server and note its port.
  2. Start the Scope MCP server over stdio
  3. Connect MCP to the running Scope instance (replace 8022 with the actual port)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2aced4d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • ffmpeg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Testing Scope MCP loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 424 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 424 words (~1,213 tokens).

“Use this skill for a reusable MCP workflow against a running Scope server.”
