What it does
Dpella MCP is an agent skill from srid/emanote. Reference for the dpella/mcp Haskell library — types, handler shape, transports, and the conventions Emanote uses. Load this before adding MCP resources/tools/subscriptions so you don't re-discover the API by WebFetch.
Its SKILL.md is about 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 Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Emanate a structured view of your plain-text notes.
When your agent uses it

Example prompts
- “/dpella-mcp”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d01037. 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:
just
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):
github.com
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
Dpella MCP loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 619 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 619 words (~1,992 tokens).
“Canonical source: . Two Hackage packages: mcp-types (pure types, minimal deps) and mcp (Servant-based server with HTTP/Stdio transports). MCP protocol version 2025-06-18. Depends on jsonrpc (also a DPella package, not in nixpkgs).”
