mcp-creator SKILL.md skillA

mcp-creator from open-octo/octo-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/mcp-creator@git:20260802.3c4aeb5

Pins git:20260802.3c4aeb5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Configure and connect MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers through guided conversation — find the right server package or endpoint, build the config entry, write it to ~/.octo/mcp.json, and verify the connection. Use when the user wants to add, set up, or connect an MCP server, e.g. "add an MCP server", "connect X via MCP", "set up the filesystem MCP", "添加 MCP", "接入 MCP 服务".

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

# Configure an MCP server

octo connects to MCP servers declared in `~/.octo/mcp.json`, using the
Claude Code-compatible `mcpServers` shape. This is the file you write to.

Your job is to turn "I want my assistant to talk to X" into a working entry in
that file. Not every user knows what MCP is — briefly explain terms if in doubt.

## Config schema

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"],
      "env": {"KEY": "value"}
    },
    "remote-api": {
      "url": "https://example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer …"},
      "auth": "oauth"
    }
  }
}
```

Each entry is **exactly one** of two transports — setting both `command` and
`url` is invalid:

| Field | Transport | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| `command` | stdio | Executable to launch (e.g. `npx`, `uvx`, a binary path) |
| `args` | stdio | Argument list, one element per arg |
| `env` | stdio | Extra environment variables for the child process |
| `url` | http | Streamable-HTTP endpoint URL |
| `headers` | http | Static headers, e.g. an API-key `Authorization` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/mcp-creator@sha256:3b8ef7107f6d65d9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260802.3c4aeb5, 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.
