connect-mcp SKILL.md skillB
connect-mcp from spshulem/openagi is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add spshulem/openagi/connect-mcp@git:20260615.82ecab1Pins git:20260615.82ecab1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Connect an MCP server (catalog or custom URL/stdio) and make its tools usable — including completing OAuth on a headless host.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Connect an MCP server so its tools become available to the agent.
1. Pick the registration path:
- Known integration → `list_mcp_catalog`, then `connect_catalog_mcp` with the catalog id.
- Custom server → `register_mcp_server` with one of: stdio (a `command` + `args`), http+bearer (a `url` + `apiKey`, using `${ENV_VAR}` for the secret), or http+oauth (a `url`). Then `connect_mcp_server`.
2. OAuth servers: connecting surfaces an authorization URL. The OAuth callback is a loopback (`http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback`) on the AGENT HOST. If the host is headless (no browser), a laptop browser can't reach that loopback — tell the user to tunnel it first, then approve:
- on the laptop: `ssh -L <port>:127.0.0.1:<port> <host>` (the host pins the port via `OPENAGI_OAUTH_CALLBACK_PORT`)
- open the auth URL in the laptop browser, sign in, approve → the redirect tunnels back and the server flips to connected.
3. Verify with `list_mcp_tools`. Large servers (lots of tools) may NOT be advertised as direct functions — a cap keeps the model's tool list within provider limits. Reach any capped tool with `run_mcp_tool(server, tool, args)`; `list_mcp_tools` shows them all.

How to install
mdr add spshulem/openagi/connect-mcp@sha256:fbc1242816a4db35The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.82ecab1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
