How does the skill detect available tools?

The skill runs 'codex mcp list' and queries the agent's current runtime functions to identify exactly which tools are active and functional at that moment.

Why is mapping tools to servers important?

Mapping tools like 'playwright:browser_click' helps developers understand the origin and scope of each function, making it easier to debug and manage permissions.

What is an MCP Tools Catalog?

It is a project-local Markdown file (docs/mcp-tools.md) that provides a comprehensive list of all Model Context Protocol servers and tool functions currently available to your AI agent.

Can I link this catalog to other documentation?

Yes, the skill automatically checks your AGENTS.md file and adds a reference to the tool catalog if it is missing.

Does this skill automatically update my documentation?

The skill drafts the catalog in the chat and requires you to reply 'CONFIRM' before it writes any files to your project directory.

Learning & Documentation

Generates and maintains a standardized Markdown catalog of all active Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and their available tool functions.

The MCP Tools Catalog skill automates the essential task of documenting an AI agent's capabilities by scanning the runtime environment for active MCP servers and their associated functions. It generates a structured reference guide at docs/mcp-tools.md, mapping tool names to their specific servers with clear, concise descriptions. This is particularly useful for maintaining project transparency, as it ensures that developers and the AI agent itself have a shared, up-to-date source of truth regarding what tools are available for use in any given project context.
