About director

Director MCP Playbooks for AI agents curl -LsSf https://director.run/install.sh | sh Overview Director allows you to provide playbooks to AI Agents. A playbook is a set of MCP tools, prompts and configuration, that give agents new skills. You can connect Claude, Cursor and VSCode in 1-click, or integrate manually through a single MCP endpoint. Playbooks are portable and can easily be switched in and out of context. Director is local-first - setup and client integration takes 30 seconds. In addition, Director provides all of the MCP management functionality that you'd expect: tool filtering, logging, strong isolation, and unified OAuth. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cafc0902-a854-4ee8-ac89-b7535f10c93d Key Features 📚 Playbooks -

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
