Cf Integrations

/contentforge:cf-integrations — Integration Status Dashboard

Show the complete integration status for your ContentForge installation — configured vs available connectors, grouped by category, with workflow impact analysis and quick-win recommendations.

The ground truth about connectors

ContentForge ships with an empty .mcp.json ("mcpServers": {}) by design (v3.9.0 Cowork-safety decision). On a fresh install, expect 0 connectors configured (or 1-2 if the platform injects its own integrations). Nothing is pre-wired.

Every number in the dashboard must come from the live script output. Never render counts, percentages, or connected/available labels that are not present in the JSON returned by scripts/connector-status.py. Do not copy numbers from the example in this file.

When to Use

Use /contentforge:cf-integrations when:

• You just installed ContentForge and want to see what's connected
• You're troubleshooting why a skill can't reach an external service
• You want to know which connectors to add next for maximum workflow coverage
• You need a quick overview before onboarding a new team member
• You're planning which integrations to set up for a new project

What This Command Does

1. Scan All Connectors — Run the status script; it checks the connector registry against your .mcp.json and environment variables
2. Build Status Dashboard — Group results by category with clear configured/available distinction
3. Calculate Coverage — Report exactly the totals the script returns
4. Recommend Quick Wins — Highlight the top 3 not-yet-configured connectors by workflow impact
5. Surface Category Gaps — Identify categories with zero coverage
6. Provide Next Steps — For each recommendation, point to /contentforge:cf-connect <name>

Required Inputs

Optional:

• Category filter — Show only a specific category (e.g., --category=seo)
• Show filter — connected, available, or all (default: all)

What Happens

Step 1: Connector Status Check

python scripts/connector-status.py --action status

This checks:

• .mcp.json for HTTP connector entries the user has added
• Environment variables for npx connectors (WordPress, Google Sheets, Semrush, DeepL, etc.)
• Returns JSON with configured/available status per connector, grouped by category, plus summary totals

Step 2: Format Dashboard by Category

Render the script JSON as a category-grouped dashboard. Each category shows the category name and description, connectors marked [connected] or [available], transport type, and the skills each connector unlocks — all taken from the JSON.

SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE — fabricated for illustration. Always render your actual script output, never this block:

===========================================================
  ContentForge Integration Dashboard
  Connected: 1 of 22 (5%)
===========================================================

  KNOWLEDGE BASE — requirements, brand docs, reference material
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  [available]  Notion (HTTP) — content requirements, brand docs, editorial calendars
  [available]  Confluence (npx) — team wikis, brand guidelines

  CMS — content management and publishing
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  [connected]  Webflow (HTTP) — added by user to .mcp.json
  [available]  WordPress (npx) — needs WORDPRESS_SITE_URL, WORDPRESS_AUTH_TOKEN

  ... (remaining categories from script output)
===========================================================

A fresh install typically shows 0-2 connected. That is normal and expected — connectors are opt-in.

Step 3: Highlight Quick Wins

From the connectors the script reports as not configured, recommend the top 3 by workflow impact:

1. Notion — powers the most skills (content intake, brand docs, briefs, audits)
2. Google Sheets — batch requirement intake, analytics tracking
3. CMS (Webflow or WordPress) — end-to-end publish workflow
4. Design (Canva or Figma) — featured images and social graphics
5. SEO (Ahrefs) — real keyword data for briefs and audits

For each quick win, show: what it unlocks (from script JSON), setup route (/contentforge:cf-connect <name>), and effort (HTTP = one .mcp.json entry + OAuth on first use; npx = env vars + entry, Claude Code only).

Step 4: Show Coverage Summary

Render the script's summary block verbatim (total, connected, available, coverage percent) plus which categories have zero configured connectors.

Step 5: Provide Next Steps

  1. Connect your top quick win:      /contentforge:cf-connect <name>
  2. Setup guide for any connector:   /contentforge:cf-connect <name>
  3. Custom service not in registry:  /contentforge:cf-add-integration
  4. Full connector reference:        CONNECTORS.md and .mcp.json.connectors-reference

Transport Types

HTTP connectors work in both Cowork and Claude Code once the user adds them to .mcp.json (or connects them at the platform level in Cowork Settings → Integrations). npx connectors require local Node.js and work in Claude Code only. Use /contentforge:cf-connect <name> for step-by-step setup of either type.

Troubleshooting

"0 connectors connected" on a fresh install

• This is the expected shipped state — .mcp.json starts empty. Use /contentforge:cf-connect <name> to add your first connector.

Dashboard shows an HTTP connector as "available" after you added it

• The key name in .mcp.json must match the registry name exactly (e.g., notion, not Notion or notion-mcp)
• Confirm .mcp.json is in the plugin root and contains valid JSON with a mcpServers object
• Restart the session after editing .mcp.json

npx connector shows "not connected" even though env vars are set

• Variables must be set in the shell session that launched Claude Code
• Verify with echo $VARIABLE_NAME (should not be empty); on Windows restart the terminal after setting

Dashboard takes a long time

• The script reads .mcp.json and environment variables only — no network calls. If slow, check for filesystem issues.

Agent Used

None. This skill is entirely script-driven using scripts/connector-status.py.
