Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned davepoon/buildwithclaude at fc03a95b41.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The mcp-builder skill enables AI agents to discover, install, and manage Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It acts as a bridge allowing agents to dynamically connect with external tools and data sources through standardized MCP interfaces.

When to use it

  • You need an agent to access real-time data from specific APIs or databases without hardcoding credentials.
  • Your workflow requires dynamic tooling where new capabilities must be added at runtime rather than deployment time.
  • You are building a multi-agent system that needs to share tools via a common protocol like MCP.

Key capabilities

  • Discovery and installation of MCP servers for extended agent functionality.
  • Management of server connections to facilitate secure data exchange.
  • Integration with the Model Context Protocol standard for interoperability.

Example prompts

  • "Install the weather-mcp-server so I can check forecasts during our meeting."
  • "Connect my database via an MCP server and summarize today's sales figures."
  • "List all available MCP tools you can install to help me analyze this dataset."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your environment supports the Model Context Protocol before attempting installation, as compatibility varies across platforms. Always verify the security permissions of third-party MCP servers before granting them access to sensitive data.
