// Install or verify Forgetful dependencies for Codex by interactively configuring Forgetful MCP and optional Context7 MCP. Use when the user asks to install Forgetful, set up Forgetful for Codex, or check Forgetful dependencies.
Gather implementation context before planning or coding by delegating retrieval to subagents that combine Forgetful memory, local code inspection, Context7 documentation, and web search when needed. Use when the user asks to gather context, run context_gather, prepare an implementation brief, or check prior decisions and framework guidance before making changes.
Bootstrap a repository into Forgetful by creating or updating the project, memories, entities, relationships, documents, and code artifacts. Use when the user asks to encode a repo, bootstrap a codebase into memory, port the Claude /encode-repo workflow, or prepare a project for future agent context retrieval.
Create or initialize Forgetful project records for the current repository by matching the current working directory to an existing Forgetful project, asking before creating a missing project, and maintaining generic device/location metadata. Use when the user asks to initialize, create, register, or set up Forgetful project context.
Load recent Forgetful context for an already registered project by matching the current working directory to a Forgetful project and retrieving recent project-scoped memories. Use when the user asks to load, refresh, resume, or catch up on recent Forgetful project information.
Curate durable knowledge from the completed Codex turn into Forgetful memory. Use when asked to save or curate memory, or when the conversation produced reusable decisions, preferences, project knowledge, or technical patterns worth preserving.

Use this skill to configure the local Codex environment for Forgetful.
Forgetful does not bundle a static .mcp.json because Forgetful setup is user-specific. A user may run Forgetful through stdio, uvx, a local HTTP server, Docker, a remote server, or an authenticated endpoint. Context7 is optional.
uvx forgetful-ai.codex mcp add.codex mcp list and, when useful, codex mcp get <name>.Check current MCP servers:
codex mcp list
Standard local Forgetful setup:
codex mcp add forgetful -- uvx forgetful-ai
HTTP Forgetful setup:
codex mcp add forgetful --url http://localhost:8020/mcp
Authenticated HTTP Forgetful setup:
codex mcp add forgetful --url https://example.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var FORGETFUL_TOKEN
Context7 setup:
codex mcp add context7 -- npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp
Inspect configured entries:
codex mcp get forgetful
codex mcp get context7
codex mcp add over hand-editing ~/.codex/config.toml.End with:
