SkillFM Beacon
Wire SkillFM Beacon into your agent so you can audit token spend, run AI health checkups, and trim bloated context without leaving the IDE.
Overview
SkillFM Beacon is a MCP server for the Operate phase that reports AI health, token usage, LLM costs, BYOK vault status, and cleanup audits for agent workflows.
What is this MCP server?
- SkillFM Beacon checks for AI health, slow agents, and context that needs cleanup
- Token and LLM spend visibility with cost-optimization guidance
- Local BYOK vault so provider keys stay off cloud paste buffers
- stdio MCP package @skillfm/mcp (npm) for Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot
- Agent monitoring focused on day-two reliability, not one-off codegen
- Registry version 0.1.0
- Single npm package @skillfm/mcp with stdio transport
- Publisher lists 11 agent-client keywords including Claude Code and Cursor
What problem does it solve?
You cannot tell which agent sessions are burning tokens, dragging on stale context, or misconfigured until the invoice or a frozen chat forces you to stop shipping.
Who is it for?
Solo builders running multiple MCP tools daily who pay their own OpenAI or Anthropic keys and want editor-native cost and health signals.
Skip if: Teams that already use full APM plus centralized secret managers and do not need agent-specific token or context audits.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can surface spend, health, and cleanup recommendations on demand so you keep Claude Code and Cursor fast without guessing at provider usage.
- Registered stdio MCP server exposing SkillFM Beacon health and usage tools
- Actionable cleanup and cost signals your agent can cite in chat
- Local BYOK vault alignment checks without shipping keys to a third-party UI
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Running agents daily means surprise bills and sluggish sessions—operate is where you observe and tune what you already ship. Token usage, cost optimization, and cleanup audits are live observability for MCP agents, not launch or build tasks.
How it compares
Agent cost-and-health MCP integration, not a coding skill or a generic cloud metrics dashboard.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is SkillFM Beacon for?
It is for indie developers and small teams using Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Claude Desktop, or VS Code Copilot with MCP who want local visibility into token use and agent health.
When should I use SkillFM Beacon?
Use it during operate when sessions feel slow, bills climb, or you need BYOK vault guidance and context cleanup audits alongside your existing MCP stack.
How do I add SkillFM Beacon to my agent?
Install the npm package @skillfm/mcp, add a stdio MCP server block pointing at that binary in your client config, restart the host, and invoke Beacon tools from the agent.
