Mcp Operations

This handles the operational side of running an MCP server for your project: setting up host configs, debugging connection issues, and managing safety flags. You'll reach for it when you're wiring up MCP integration or when tools aren't connecting properly. The workflow is sensible, defaulting to read-only mode and requiring explicit confirmation before enabling destructive operations. It's essentially the ops runbook packaged as a skill, with built-in guardrails around mutations and a clear verification path through typecheck and build commands. Useful if you're maintaining an MCP server and want consistent operational practices baked in.

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.
