The connector shipped no requirements.txt, so ensure_installed_host()
installed nothing and every tool call failed with "No module named
'googlemaps'" while the server still answered tools/list — skald logged
"connected — 6 tool(s)" on a connector that could not work.
- add requirements.txt (googlemaps>=4.10.0); deps were declared in the
manifest's `dependencies` field, which skald only uses for the card
- wire the shipped verify.py through a `verify` manifest block, so a
broken install fails visibly at enable time instead of silently
- verify.py puts .pydeps on sys.path: skald sets PYTHONPATH only for the
server process, not for the `sh -c "python3 verify.py"` verify step
- drop the inert mcp_config.env {SECRET:…} placeholder — those tokens are
substituted in the URL only, never in env values
- realign manifest/fragment versions (were 2/1.0.1 vs 5/1.0.4); skald
prefers the manifest, so "update available" could never appear
- requires ENV -> API_KEY; drop deprecated secrets/ path from error text
- regenerate the index
Ogni connector.json ora ha una llm_short_description che elenca i tool
specifici che espone, così l'LLM sa esattamente cosa attivare (lazy load).
SKALD.md: documentata criticità del campo llm_short_description
nel system prompt dell'LLM.
- Aggiunto campo 'title' a tools/list in tutti gli script MCP locali
(Gmail, Gcal, Drive, Email, SSH, Weather, Wikipedia, WhatsApp)
- Aggiunto tools[]/display_name nel manifest per connector remoti/package
esterni (Firecrawl, HTTP Fetch, Exa, Tavily, SerpAPI Flights)
- Documentata convenzione e resolution order in SKALD.md
- Aggiornata manifest_guide.md per tools[] in connectors.json
- Bumped version e sha256 per tutti i 13 connector
- weather/ — Python MCP server (copiato da skald/scripts), no auth, free API
- wikipedia/ — nuovo Python MCP server, Wikipedia API pubblica, no auth
- Entrambi: mcp_local, scope global, auth none, dipendenza httpx
- connectors.json: +2 connector (totale 7), auth:none aggiunto anche a SSH
- Deleted gmail_oauth_setup.py and gcal_oauth_setup.py (Skald handles OAuth)
- Removed google-auth-oauthlib dependency from requirements.txt and connector.json
- Simplified setup_instructions to point to Skald's OAuth flow
- Updated docstrings and error messages in *_mcp_server.py (no more refs to
*_oauth_setup.py, point to Skald OAuth / env-var instead)
- connectors.json: removed oauth_setup.py from files[], updated sha256 hashes
auth.deliver changes from as:file to as:env:
- Gmail: GMAIL_CREDS_JSON env var (Google authorized_user JSON)
- Gcal: GCAL_CREDS_JSON env var
mcp_config.env removed entirely — Skald injects the env var at runtime,
no path on disk needed.
Server scripts updated:
- Check GMAIL_CREDS_JSON / GCAL_CREDS_JSON env var first
- Use Credentials.from_authorized_user_info() instead of
from_authorized_user_file()
- Fall back to file-based loading for standalone/legacy use
- _persist_creds only writes to disk when _creds_path is set
gcal/verify.py: support GCAL_CREDS_JSON env var with shared _check_api()
Docs (SKALD.md): updated examples, field table, connector table.
connector.json: auth.deliver declares {as, format, path} so Skald
can write the Google authorized_user JSON without hardcoding paths.
connectors.json: gmail entry gains auth {type, provider, scopes}
for UI badge rendering without downloading the full manifest.
No changes to email, ssh, or tavily connectors.
Client-side page that captures the OAuth authorization code from
Google's redirect URL (?code=...) and displays it in a textarea
for copy-paste into Skald. Shows error details on failure.
