System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill audits installed Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and helps you disable the ones that are failing, flaky, or disproportionately expensive in tokens so Claude Code becomes faster, less noisy, and more reliable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-based MCP inventory: Collects status/failure signals, tool counts (as a cost proxy), last successful use, and an estimated token cost from tool descriptions.
  • Triage with clear capability impact: Categorizes MCPs into safe/consider/keep and explicitly lists the capability lost plus a fallback path for each candidate.
  • Safe, reversible cleanup: Disables only after explicit confirmation and writes a reversible record/log so you can undo the changes later.

Quick Start

Ask for an MCP cleanup such as: "prune MCPs and disable the failing ones, but wait for my confirmation first."
