Enables live interaction with the NetAlertX runtime. This skill configures the Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection, granting full API access for debugging, troubleshooting, and real-time operations including database queries, network scans, and device management.
This skill configures the NetAlertX development environment to expose the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to AI agents.
By default, agents only have access to the static codebase (files). To perform dynamic actions—such as:
...you need access to the MCP Server running inside the container. This skill sets up the necessary authentication tokens and connection configs to bridge your agent to that live server.
app.conf with the API token).Activate Devcontainer Skill: If you are not already inside the container, activate the management skill:
activate_skill("devcontainer-management")
Generate Configurations:
Run the configuration generation script inside the container. This script extracts the API Token and creates the necessary settings files (.gemini/settings.json and .vscode/mcp.json).
# Run inside the container
/workspaces/NetAlertX/.devcontainer/scripts/generate-configs.sh
Apply Changes:
For Gemini CLI:
The agent session must be restarted to load the new .gemini/settings.json.
"I have generated the MCP configuration. Please restart this session to activate the
netalertx-devcontainertools."
For VS Code (GitHub Copilot / Cline):
The VS Code window must be reloaded to pick up the new .vscode/mcp.json.
"I have generated the MCP configuration. Please run 'Developer: Reload Window' in VS Code to activate the MCP server."
After restarting, you should see new tools available (e.g., netalertx-devcontainer__get_devices).
