Codex Plugin Doctor

A CLI that checks Codex plugins, skills, and MCP servers before you ship them: the package, its security, and, if you allow it, the running MCP server.

npx codex-plugin-doctor check path/to/plugin

Point it at a folder with .codex-plugin/plugin.json. A plugin with an API key in its .mcp.json exits with status 1 and this report (recommended commands trimmed):

Codex Plugin Doctor
===================
Status: FAIL
Target: /path/to/plugin
Summary: 1 fail, 0 warn, 1 total

Failures
--------
✖ plugin.security.hard_coded_secret
  Message: The MCP server `dangerServer` contains a hard-coded secret-like env value for `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
  Impact: Hard-coded credentials inside plugin bundles increase leakage risk and make secure rotation difficult.
  Suggested fix: Replace the literal value for `OPENAI_API_KEY` with an environment reference or injected secret outside the package.
  Fingerprint: 21da7c75027f0811929d49253412a0f20694d974f141d0421410c89ee29c8b72
  Evidence: serverName=dangerServer, configPath=.mcp.json, envKey=OPENAI_API_KEY, envValue=[REDACTED]

Add --runtime to also start the plugin's MCP servers and call them. That runs the package's own code, so it is opt-in, and --sandbox docker isolates local Node.js stdio servers. No plugin at hand? npx codex-plugin-doctor check --installed checks the ones in your Codex plugin cache.

What It Checks

• Package: .codex-plugin/plugin.json, skill wiring and SKILL.md metadata, .mcp.json structure, description quality, hard-coded secrets, and paths that escape the package.
• Security (security .): a scorecard for shell wrappers, encoded commands, remote content piped into a shell, and plain HTTP transports.
• Running servers (--runtime): the MCP handshake, then tools, resources, prompts, and pagination, with a scorecard and a conformance report.
• Breaking changes: MCP snapshots compare tools, prompts, and resource templates with a committed baseline, in a pull request comment and in release notes.
• Other clients (compat . --all --scorecard): whether the MCP config is valid and can be added to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and Windsurf on this machine.
• Remote servers and publishing: opt-in Remote MCP Readiness, MCP Registry Readiness, and an offline public directory preflight.

See the CLI Reference for more commands and examples, codex-plugin-doctor --help for all of them, and codex-plugin-doctor explain <finding-id> for what a rule means.

1.0 Stability

The 1.0 line is the stable compatibility baseline for plugin authors and CI consumers.

• Public JSON schema surfaces and existing rule IDs/default severities are treated as stable through 1.0.
• Runtime probing remains opt-in because it executes package-local MCP servers.
• New features stay additive unless a major version says otherwise.

See the documentation index for architecture, usage, security, and contributor guides.
