## What it does

This skill guides agents through building and launching the MCP server packaged with Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor. Setup steps involve `npm run mcp:install`, type checking, and compilation via `npm run mcp:build`. Running `npm run setup` executes the install and build steps together. Once ready, the server starts with `ccam mcp stdio`, `ccam mcp http`, or `ccam mcp repl`.

Read actions stay enabled by default. Write operations require `MCP_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_MUTATIONS=true` in your environment. Total data removal demands two explicit safeguards: setting `MCP_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=true` and passing the exact string parameter `confirmation_token = "CLEAR_ALL_DATA"` directly to the tool. Missing that token blocks data wiping.

For authenticated dashboards, supply `MCP_DASHBOARD_API_TOKEN`. Network targets remain confined to loopback addresses and approved container hosts. Validation runs via `npm run test:mcp`, confirming that protocol and REPL modes register identical tool catalogs.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill mcp-server -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/mcp-server/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill mcp-server -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill mcp-server -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor mcp-server
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill mcp-server -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --path plugins/ccam-platform/skills/mcp-server
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill mcp-server -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor/tree/HEAD/plugins/ccam-platform/skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Compile the CCAM MCP server and check TypeScript types
- Start the server using stdio, HTTP, or REPL transport
- Configure environment variables for write permissions
- Verify tool registration with test:mcp

## Example prompts
- Build CCAM mcp-server and start it with stdio transport
- Show the environment variables required to enable write actions in mcp-server
- Run test:mcp to check the server tool registration

description: >
  Configure, launch, validate, and troubleshoot CCAM's comprehensive MCP server
  for Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP hosts. Use when installing dependencies,
  building the server, selecting stdio, HTTP, or REPL transport, setting
  mutation/destructive policy, supplying dashboard authentication, or checking
  complete tool registration.

# MCP Server

## Build

```bash
npm run mcp:install
npm run mcp:typecheck
npm run mcp:build
```

Normal `npm run setup` performs install and build automatically.

## Launch

```bash
ccam mcp stdio
ccam mcp http
ccam mcp repl
```

## Policy

- Reads are enabled by default.
- Writes require `MCP_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_MUTATIONS=true`.
- Full data clearing additionally requires
  `MCP_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=true` and the exact tool argument
  `confirmation_token = "CLEAR_ALL_DATA"`. `CLEAR_ALL_DATA` is not an
  environment variable.
- Set `MCP_DASHBOARD_API_TOKEN` when the dashboard uses `DASHBOARD_TOKEN`.
- The target URL remains restricted to loopback and approved container-host
  names.

Validate with `npm run test:mcp`. Protocol and REPL transports must expose the
same catalog because both use the canonical domain registration path.
