+# MCP Activation Skill
+
+This skill configures the NetAlertX development environment to expose the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to AI agents.
+
+## Why use this?
+
+By default, agents only have access to the static codebase (files). To perform dynamic actions—such as:
+- **Querying the database** (e.g., getting device lists, events)
+- **Triggering actions** (e.g., network scans, Wake-on-LAN)
+- **Validating runtime state** (e.g., checking if a fix actually works)
+
+...you need access to the **MCP Server** running inside the container. This skill sets up the necessary authentication tokens and connection configs to bridge your agent to that live server.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1.  **Devcontainer:** You must be connected to the NetAlertX devcontainer.
+2.  **Server Running:** The backend server must be running (to generate `app.conf` with the API token).
+
+## Activation Steps
+
+1.  **Activate Devcontainer Skill:**
+    If you are not already inside the container, activate the management skill:
+    ```text
+    activate_skill("devcontainer-management")
+    ```
+
+2.  **Generate Configurations:**
+    Run the configuration generation script *inside* the container. This script extracts the API Token and creates the necessary settings files (`.gemini/settings.json` and `.vscode/mcp.json`).
+
+    ```bash
+    # Run inside the container
+    /workspaces/NetAlertX/.devcontainer/scripts/generate-configs.sh
+    ```
+
+3.  **Apply Changes:**
+
+    *   **For Gemini CLI:**
+        The agent session must be **restarted** to load the new `.gemini/settings.json`.
+        > "I have generated the MCP configuration. Please **restart this session** to activate the `netalertx-devcontainer` tools."
+
+    *   **For VS Code (GitHub Copilot / Cline):**
+        The VS Code window must be **reloaded** to pick up the new `.vscode/mcp.json`.
+        > "I have generated the MCP configuration. Please run **'Developer: Reload Window'** in VS Code to activate the MCP server."
+
+## Verification
+
+After restarting, you should see new tools available (e.g., `netalertx-devcontainer__get_devices`).

+# 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.
+
+    ```bash
+    /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**
