scout-mcp SKILL.md skillA

scout-mcp from confighub/cub-scout is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when the user wants to expose cub-scout to an AI agent over MCP, wants a deterministic AI-ready snapshot of cluster context, or wants cub-scout running as a read-only event bot — the Integrate verb group. Natural phrasing: "start the MCP server", "expose cub-scout to Claude / Codex / my agent", "give me an AI-ready context pack of this cluster", "set up the MCP gateway", "what MCP tools does cub-scout expose?", "run cub-scout as a bot", "produce JSON context for an LLM to reason about this…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# scout-mcp

The Integrate verb group of cub-scout. Three ways to plug cub-scout into AI workflows:

- **`mcp serve`** — long-running Model Context Protocol gateway exposing cub-scout's verbs as MCP tools for Claude / Codex / any MCP-aware agent
- **`context-pack`** — one-shot deterministic JSON context bundle an agent can consume directly
- **`bot`** — in-cluster event producer using the same read-only watch stream as `cub-scout watch`

Plus the version/status meta-commands the harness uses for cold-start checks.

## When to use

Explicit phrasings:

- "Start the MCP server" / "expose cub-scout to my agent over MCP"
- "Set up cub-scout as an MCP tool for Claude / Codex"
- "Give me an AI-ready context pack of this cluster"
- "What MCP tools does cub-scout expose?"
- "Produce JSON context an LLM can reason about" / "deterministic context snapshot"
- "Run cub-scout as an in-cluster bot"
- "Bootstrap the MCP gateway"
- "Plug cub-scout into the agent"

Implicit intents:

- The user is integrating cub-scout with an LLM / agent framework
- The user wants a *deterministic* (no AI, no inference) snapshot for an LLM to reason over

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add confighub/cub-scout/scout-mcp@sha256:0ada7136483b0f06

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.81f7574, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
