SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables direct interaction with the NetAlertX runtime by exposing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to AI agents, providing authenticated access for debugging, troubleshooting, and real-time operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Live runtime access: Bridge AI agents to the running MCP server to query device state, run scans, and validate fixes without manual container access.
  • Development workflow: Quickly toggle and verify runtime behavior during development and testing across local containers.

Quick Start

Activate the devcontainer-management skill: activate_skill("devcontainer-management") Generate MCP configurations inside the container: /workspaces/NetAlertX/.devcontainer/scripts/generate-configs.sh Apply changes: restart Gemini CLI session to load new settings or reload VS Code window to activate the MCP server.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enable MCP server access for AI agents in a development container?

MCP activation exposes your NetAlertX runtime to AI agents through authenticated access. Activate the devcontainer-management skill, run the generate-configs.sh script inside your container, then restart your session to load the MCP server configuration.

What do I need to set up before activating live MCP access?

You need an active development container environment, generated authentication tokens from the provided script, and the devcontainer-management skill activated to generate and apply MCP configuration files.

Can I debug and query the NetAlertX runtime without manual container access?

Yes. MCP activation bridges AI agents directly to your running NetAlertX runtime, enabling live database queries, device management, and network scans without SSH or manual container interaction.

How do I verify that the MCP server is active after configuration?

Restart your Gemini CLI session or reload your VS Code window to activate the MCP server. Once loaded, AI agents can query device state and execute runtime operations through the authenticated MCP connection.

What real-time operations can I perform through the activated MCP server?

Live MCP access enables device state queries, database lookups, device management tasks, and network scan execution directly from AI agents, supporting both debugging and production troubleshooting workflows.

Does MCP activation work with existing development container configurations?

Yes, provided you have devcontainer-management skill activated. The MCP setup integrates into your existing container environment by applying generated configuration through the devcontainer workflow.
