What it does

Install Starknet MCP is an agent skill from starkware-libs/starknet-specs. Install and configure the Starknet MCP server for Claude Code

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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 and Python.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/install-starknet-mcp”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. The user should provide their Starknet JSON-RPC endpoint URL as $ARGUMENTS. If no argument was given, ask the user for their RPC URL. It…
  2. Install the Python dependencies
  3. Ask the user which scope they want
  4. Register the MCP server with Claude Code using the chosen scope. Note that --env must come before -- so Claude sets it in the server's…
  5. Verify the server is registered by running
  6. Tell the user the installation is complete and they should restart Claude Code for the new MCP server to take effect. List a few example…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e1ff1fb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude
    • pip

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

  • Network

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

Install Starknet MCP loads about 421 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~421

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

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 212 words (~421 tokens).

“Set up the Starknet MCP server so Claude can query a live Starknet node.”
