description	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.

MCP Activation Skill

This skill configures the environment to expose the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to AI agents running inside the devcontainer.

Usage

This skill assumes you are already running within the NetAlertX devcontainer.

1. Generate Configurations: Run the configuration generation script to extract the API Token and update the VS Code MCP settings.

   /workspaces/NetAlertX/.devcontainer/scripts/generate-configs.sh
   

2. Reload Window: Request the user to reload the VS Code window to activate the new tools.

   I have generated the MCP configuration. Please run the 'Developer: Reload Window' command to activate the MCP server tools. In VS Code: open the Command Palette (Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+P, macOS: Cmd+Shift+P), type Developer: Reload Window, press Enter — or click the Reload button if a notification appears. 🔁 After you reload, tell me “Window reloaded” (or just “reloaded”) and I’ll continue.

Why use this?

Access the live runtime API to perform operations that are not possible through static file analysis:

• Query the database
• Trigger network scans
• Manage devices and events
• Troubleshoot real-time system state
