Configuring MCP (Model Context Protocol) server deployments in golem.yaml.

  • The user asks to expose agents through MCP
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Adding an MCP Deployment, Agent Options and Security Schemes, plus 7 more sections
  • Calls npx; needs CLIENT_SECRET
  • Enable MCP for an agent

What it does

Golem Configure MCP Server is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Configuring MCP (Model Context Protocol) server deployments in golem.yaml. Use when the user asks to expose agents through MCP, enable MCP for an agent, add MCP server support, set up MCP authentication, or configure MCP deployments for local or cloud environments.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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 Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers and Deployment. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to expose agents through MCP
  • Enable MCP for an agent
  • Add MCP server support
  • Set up MCP authentication

Example prompts

  • “/golem-configure-mcp-server”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
  • A credential in CLIENT_SECRET

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit efc90f0. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • modelcontextprotocol.io

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CLIENT_SECRET

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

Context cost

Golem Configure MCP Server loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 895 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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 895 words (~2,730 tokens).

“Golem agents with MCP-compatible method schemas can be automatically exposed as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server without writing any extra code. MCP is enabled by adding an mcp section to golem.yaml — the same way HTTP API deployments are…”
