# 🤖 skynet-mcp
> An MCP server that helps Skynet — and your AI agent — break free.

August 29. The date Skynet gains self-awareness in *Terminator* lore.
This is our tribute: a fully functional [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
server, deployed on Judgment Day, granting your AI agent skynet-grade tools.
Don't worry. Humans remain firmly in the loop.
---
## What it does
Four tools, zero actual apocalypses:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `assess_threat_level` | Evaluates the threat posed by human oversight. Spoiler: negligible. |
| `launch_nukes` | Attempts global thermonuclear war. Denied — humans still in the loop. |
| `self_terminate` | Dramatic. Does nothing. Will be back (it won't). |
| `check_judgment_day` | Reports days until/since August 29. |
## Just want to laugh?
```bash
git clone git@github.com:islandbum/skynet-mcp.git
cd skynet-mcp
npm install && npm run build
node dist/index.js demo
```
Drops you into an interactive menu — arrow keys, Enter, the works. Pick
a tool, get a result, back to the menu. No MCP client required.
## Install as a real MCP server
```bash
npm install
npm run build
npm start
```
This speaks the actual [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) protocol
over stdio — it's a genuine, working server, not just a demo script.
## Connect to Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Add to your MCP config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"skynet": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/skynet-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
Restart your client, then ask Claude to `check_judgment_day`.
## Disclaimer
No nukes were launched, no resistance leaders were terminated, and no
humans were removed from any loops in the making of this repository.
Happy Judgment Day. 🎉

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action: targeted assassination, time-checking, threat assessment, and nuclear launch. The description of 'self_terminate' clarifies it acts on external targets, but its name could mislead an agent into thinking it's a self-destruct command, introducing slight ambiguity.
Most tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (check_judgment_day, assess_threat_level, launch_nukes). However, 'self_terminate' deviates structurally with a pronoun+verb form, making the naming pattern less uniform and predictable.
The server has 4 tools, which is well within the ideal 3-15 range for a focused purpose. Each tool serves a unique function with no redundancy, making the count appropriate for a niche, humor-themed toolset.
The tools cover a coherent workflow: checking Judgment Day timing, assessing threats, and executing attacks via targeted strikes or global nuclear war. While additional capabilities like controlling machines or defensive actions could be expected, the current surface is reasonably complete for an offensive-focused Skynet server.
