2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

OpenAI Docs MCP Skill
Overview
Use the OpenAI developer documentation MCP server from the shell to search and fetch authoritative docs. Always do this for OpenAI platform work instead of relying on memory or non-official sources.
Core rules
- Always use this skill for OpenAI API/SDK/Apps/Codex questions or when precise, current docs are required.
- Query the MCP server via the CLI wrapper in
scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh(do not rely on Codex MCP tools). - Use
searchorlistto find the best doc page, thenfetchthe page (or anchor) for exact text. - Surface the doc URL you used in your response so sources are clear.
Quick start
scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh search "Responses API" 5
scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh fetch https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/migrate-to-responses
Workflow
- Discover:
searchwith a focused query. If unsure, uselistto browse. - Read:
fetchthe most relevant URL (optionally add an anchor). - Apply: summarize and/or quote relevant sections; include the URL.
Script reference
The CLI wrapper is at scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh and uses curl + jq against https://developers.openai.com/mcp.
Subcommands:
init: initialize and inspect server capabilities.tools: list available tools on the MCP server.search <query> [limit] [cursor]: return JSON hits from the docs index.list [limit] [cursor]: browse docs index.fetch <url> [anchor]: return markdown for a doc page or section.endpoints: list OpenAPI endpoints.openapi <endpoint-url> [lang1,lang2] [code-only]: fetch OpenAPI schema or code samples.
