Access meme-rodeo MCP tools for searching, browsing, and analyzing memes.

  • Works in 4 steps: api-key CLI flag → RODEO_API_KEY environment variable → OAuth token (from rodeo login) → …

  • SKILL.md covers When to use rodeo, Prerequisites, CLI Commands and MCP Proxy Mode, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls go; reaches mcp.meme.rodeo; needs RODEO_API_KEY

What it does

Rodeo is an agent skill from harperreed/dotfiles. Access meme-rodeo MCP tools for searching, browsing, and analyzing memes. Use when the user asks about memes, wants to search for memes, get meme stats, or interact with the meme-rodeo platform.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Dotfiles. Managed by YADM.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about memes
  • Wants to search for memes
  • Interact with the meme-rodeo platform

Example prompts

  • “/rodeo”

Requirements

  • A credential in RODEO_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. api-key CLI flag
  2. RODEO_API_KEY environment variable
  3. OAuth token (from rodeo login)
  4. API key from config file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b78c10e. 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:

    • go

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mcp.meme.rodeo

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

  • Credentials

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

    • RODEO_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Rodeo loads about 648 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 211 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~648

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 211 words (~648 tokens).

“Go CLI that connects to the meme-rodeo MCP server. Works as both a direct CLI tool and a local MCP stdio proxy for agents like OpenClaw and Claude Code.”
