SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Generates Codex skills that wrap an MCP server via MCPorter to enable direct server calls from Codex.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate per-skill wrappers that connect to an MCP server using MCPorter (CLI) with optional keep-alive for multi-turn continuation_id flows.
  • Include fixture tests, self-tests, and a minimal OpenAI agent manifest to validate offline and integration scenarios.
  • Produce a ready-to-run skill bundle containing mcporter.json, a shell-based mcp wrapper, and wiring to invoke the server from Codex.

Quick Start

Create a new Codex skill folder that wraps an MCP server with MCPorter, enabling multi-turn calls via a keep-alive daemon.

Frequently Asked Questions about mcporter-skillifier

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I call an MCP server directly from Codex?▼

Generating a Codex skill wrapper via MCPorter allows direct MCP server calls from Codex. The Skill produces a ready-to-run bundle with a bash wrapper, mcporter.json configuration, and OpenAI agent manifest to handle the server invocation.

What is a keep-alive daemon for multi-turn MCP server calls?▼

Keep-alive support maintains a persistent MCP server connection across multi-turn flows. This Skill generates wrappers with optional keep-alive functionality to manage continuation_id sequences without restarting the server connection.

How do I test MCP server integration offline before deploying?▼

Offline fixture tests validate MCP server integration without a live connection. This Skill produces a skill bundle containing self-test tooling and offline fixtures to verify wrapper logic and server interactions before deployment.

Can I use MCPorter to wrap multiple MCP servers in separate Codex skills?▼

Yes, you can generate per-skill wrappers for multiple MCP servers using MCPorter. This Skill creates an isolated bundle for each server with its own mcporter.json, shell wrapper, and agent manifest to manage integrations independently.

What files are included in a generated MCPorter skill bundle?▼

A generated MCPorter skill bundle includes an mcporter.json configuration file, a bash shell wrapper script, self-test tooling, and a minimal OpenAI agent manifest. These components provide the complete wiring to invoke an MCP server from Codex.
