SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When MCPProxy is configured as an MCP server, agents often struggle to correctly invoke its tools, fall back to inefficient HTTP API calls, or misinterpret "tool not available" errors. This skill ensures proper usage and efficient troubleshooting of mcp__MCPProxy__* tools, saving you time and preventing common pitfalls.

Core Features & Use Cases

Correct Tool Invocation: Guides on how to properly call mcp__MCPProxy__* tools as functions, preventing common mistakes like attempting to run them as bash commands.
Intelligent Error Handling: Teaches to recognize "No such tool available" as an MCP connection issue, not a missing tool, and prompts the user to reconnect via the /mcp command.
Prevents "HTTP API Spiral": Explicitly warns against repeatedly trying different curl commands and parsing strategies when MCP tools should be available, saving time and frustration.
