What it does

MCP Operations is an agent skill from hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor. Operate and maintain the local MCP server for this project. Use when creating MCP host config, troubleshooting tool connectivity, modifying tool domains, or adjusting safety policy flags.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/host-config.md`, `references/runbook.md` and `references/tool-domain-map.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and npm. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 A real-time monitoring dashboard for Claude Code & Codex, built with SQLite3, Node.js, Express, React, Vite, TailwindCSS, & WebSockets. It tracks sessions, agent activity… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating MCP host config
  • Troubleshooting tool connectivity
  • Modifying tool domains
  • Adjusting safety policy flags

Example prompts

  • “/mcp-operations”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a06db03. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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

MCP Operations loads about 313 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~313
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

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.

MCP Operations

Use this skill whenever work touches mcp/ behavior or MCP host integration.

Core workflow

  • Confirm dashboard API is running (/api/health).
  • Confirm MCP server build status.
  • Validate env flags for mutation/destructive modes.
  • Verify host configuration path and command.

Safe operations policy

  • Default to read-only mode (MCP_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_MUTATIONS=false).
  • Enable mutations only for explicit admin tasks.
  • Enable destructive mode only transiently and require explicit confirmation token.

Required verification for code changes

  • npm run mcp:typecheck
  • npm run test:mcp
  • npm run mcp:build

Catalog invariant

  • Add tools only through mcp/src/tools/domains/ and registerAllTools.
  • Protocol transports and REPL must use the same declarations and schemas.
  • Update .agents/skills/mcp-maintainer/references/tool-domain-map.md when a domain changes.

References

  • Host config examples: references/host-config.md
