/contentforge:cf-integrations — Integration Status Dashboard

Show the complete integration status for your ContentForge installation — configured vs available connectors, grouped by category, with workflow impact analysis and quick-win recommendations.

The ground truth about connectors

ContentForge ships with an empty .mcp.json ("mcpServers": {}) by design (v3.9.0 Cowork-safety decision). On a fresh install, expect 0 connectors configured (or 1-2 if the platform injects its own integrations). Nothing is pre-wired.

Every number in the dashboard must come from the live script output. Never render counts, percentages, or connected/available labels that are not present in the JSON returned by scripts/connector-status.py. Do not copy numbers from the example in this file.

When to Use

Use /contentforge:cf-integrations when:

• You just installed ContentForge and want to see what's connected
• You're troubleshooting why a skill can't reach an external service
• You want to know which connectors to add next for maximum workflow coverage
• You need a quick overview before onboarding a new team member
• You're planning which integrations to set up for a new project

What This Command Does

1. Scan All Connectors — Run the status script; it checks the connector registry against your .mcp.json and environment variables
2. Build Status Dashboard — Group results by category with clear configured/available distinction
3. Calculate Coverage — Report exactly the totals the script returns
4. Recommend Quick Wins — Highlight the top 3 not-yet-configured connectors by workflow impact
5. Surface Category Gaps — Identify categories with zero coverage
6. Provide Next Steps — For each recommendation, point to /contentforge:cf-connect <name>

Required Inputs

Optional:

• Category filter — Show only a specific category (e.g., --category=seo)
• Show filter — connected, available, or all (default: all)

What Happens

Step 1: Connector Status Check

python scripts/connector-status.py --action status

This checks:

• .mcp.json for HTTP connector entries the user has added
• Environment variables for npx connectors (WordPress, Google Sheets, Semrush, DeepL, etc.)
• Returns JSON with configured/available status per connector, grouped by category, plus summary totals

Step 2: Format Dashboard by Category

Render the script JSON as a category-grouped dashboard. Each category shows the category name and description, connectors marked [connected] or [available], transport type, and the skills each connector unlocks — all taken from the JSON.

SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE — fabricated for illustration. Always render your actual script output, never this block:

===========================================================
  ContentForge Integration Dashboard
  Connected: 1 of 22 (5%)
===========================================================

  KNOWLEDGE BASE — requirements, brand docs, reference material
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  [available]  Notion (HTTP) — content requirements, brand docs, editorial calendars
  [available]  Confluence (npx) — team wikis, brand guidelines

  CMS — content management and publishing
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  [connected]  Webflow (HTTP) — added by user to .mcp.json
  [available]  WordPress (npx) — needs WORDPRESS_SITE_URL, WORDPRESS_AUTH_TOKEN

  ... (remaining categories from script output)
===========================================================

A fresh install typically shows 0-2 connected. That is normal and expected — connectors are opt-in.

Step 3: Highlight Quick Wins

From the connectors the script reports as not configured, recommend the top 3 by workflow impact:

1. Notion — powers the most skills (content intake, brand docs, briefs, audits)
2. Google Sheets — batch requirement intake, analytics tracking
3. CMS (Webflow or WordPress) — end-to-end publish workflow
4. Design (Canva or Figma) — featured images and social graphics
5. SEO (Ahrefs) — real keyword data for briefs and audits

For each quick win, show: what it unlocks (from script JSON), setup route (/contentforge:cf-connect <name>), and effort (HTTP = one .mcp.json entry + OAuth on first use; npx = env vars + entry, Claude Code only).

Step 4: Show Coverage Summary

Render the script's summary block verbatim (total, connected, available, coverage percent) plus which categories have zero configured connectors.

Step 5: Provide Next Steps

  1. Connect your top quick win:      /contentforge:cf-connect <name>
  2. Setup guide for any connector:   /contentforge:cf-connect <name>
  3. Custom service not in registry:  /contentforge:cf-add-integration
  4. Full connector reference:        CONNECTORS.md and .mcp.json.connectors-reference

Transport Types

Transport	Setup Effort	Environment	Authentication
HTTP	Low — one .mcp.json entry (user-added)	Cowork + Claude Code	OAuth prompt on first use
npx	Moderate — env vars + .mcp.json entry	Claude Code only	API keys via environment variables

HTTP connectors work in both Cowork and Claude Code once the user adds them to .mcp.json (or connects them at the platform level in Cowork Settings → Integrations). npx connectors require local Node.js and work in Claude Code only. Use /contentforge:cf-connect <name> for step-by-step setup of either type.

Troubleshooting

"0 connectors connected" on a fresh install

• This is the expected shipped state — .mcp.json starts empty. Use /contentforge:cf-connect <name> to add your first connector.

Dashboard shows an HTTP connector as "available" after you added it

• The key name in .mcp.json must match the registry name exactly (e.g., notion, not Notion or notion-mcp)
• Confirm .mcp.json is in the plugin root and contains valid JSON with a mcpServers object
• Restart the session after editing .mcp.json

npx connector shows "not connected" even though env vars are set

• Variables must be set in the shell session that launched Claude Code
• Verify with echo $VARIABLE_NAME (should not be empty); on Windows restart the terminal after setting

Dashboard takes a long time

• The script reads .mcp.json and environment variables only — no network calls. If slow, check for filesystem issues.

Agent Used

None. This skill is entirely script-driven using scripts/connector-status.py.
