What it does

Setup Context A8c is an agent skill from woocommerce/woocommerce-ios. Set up the ContextA8C MCP server for accessing Automattic internal resources (Slack, Linear, P2s, GitHub Enterprise, etc.)

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `setup-for-claude-code.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol, GitHub, Slack and WooCommerce. The licence is GPL-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

“/setup-context-a8c”

Requirements

Node.js
A Bash shell
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Identify the client
Check prerequisites
Register MCP (client-specific)
Connect accounts
Restart

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2f88e14. 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
Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npx
- bash
- claude
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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

Setup Context A8c loads about 627 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~627

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

The full file from woocommerce/woocommerce-ios at commit 2f88e14, republished under its GPL-2.0 licence (© woocommerce). 330 words, ~627 tokens.

name: setup-context-a8c
description: Set up the ContextA8C MCP server for accessing Automattic internal resources (Slack, Linear, P2s, GitHub Enterprise, etc.)
allowed-tools: Bash, Read
user-invocable: true

Set up the ContextA8C MCP server for the current user.

IMPORTANT: The claude CLI binary may exist on the system regardless of which client the user is actually running. Do NOT use which claude to detect the client. Always ask the user first.

Step 1: Identify the client

Ask the user which AI client they are currently using. Present these options:

Claude Code (CLI in terminal)
Claude Desktop (macOS/Windows app)
Cursor
VS Code
Other

Do NOT proceed until the user confirms their client. The setup steps differ per client and applying the wrong one will silently fail (e.g., claude mcp add registers for Claude Code only, not Claude Desktop).

Step 2: Check prerequisites

bash

npx --version

If npx is not found, tell the user to install Node.js (v18+) and stop.

Step 3: Register MCP (client-specific)

Claude Code (CLI)

Run the setup script:

bash

bash .claude/skills/setup-context-a8c/setup-for-claude-code.sh

Claude Desktop

Guide the user through these manual steps (the agent cannot do this for them):

Go to the ContextA8C setup page on MC (search "ContextA8C" in MC)
Select "Claude Desktop"
Download the MCPB bundle file
Double-click it — Claude Desktop will walk through the rest
If it fails with a Node version error: install Node from nodejs.org, quit and restart Claude Desktop, then double-click the MCPB file again

Cursor / VS Code / Other MCP clients

Tell the user to add this JSON config to their client's MCP settings file:

Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json
VS Code: .vscode/mcp.json

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context-a8c": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@automattic/mcp-context-a8c"]
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Connect accounts

Tell the user to connect their Automattic accounts in a browser:

Open the ContextA8C setup page on MC in a browser
Enable and authorize each provider they want (Slack, Linear, WordPress.com, GitHub, etc.)
Some providers require OAuth, others are simple toggles
This is a one-time setup per provider

Wait for the user to confirm they have connected their accounts.

Step 5: Restart

Tell the user to fully quit and relaunch their AI tool (not just start a new session) for the MCP server to load.
