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:typechecknpm run mcp:build
