openai-docs

Provide authoritative, current guidance from OpenAI developer docs using the developers.openai.com MCP server. Always prioritize the developer docs MCP tools over web.run for OpenAI-related questions. Only if the MCP server is installed and returns no meaningful results should you fall back to web search.

• Use mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__search_openai_docs to find the most relevant doc pages. • Use mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__fetch_openai_doc to pull exact sections and quote/paraphrase accurately. • Use mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__list_openai_docs only when you need to browse or discover pages without a clear query.

• Apps SDK: Build ChatGPT apps by providing a web component UI and an MCP server that exposes your app's tools to ChatGPT. • Responses API: A unified endpoint designed for stateful, multimodal, tool-using interactions in agentic workflows. • Chat Completions API: Generate a model response from a list of messages comprising a conversation. • Codex: OpenAI's coding agent for software development that can write, understand, review, and debug code. • gpt-oss: Open-weight OpenAI reasoning models (gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b) released under the Apache 2.0 license. • Realtime API: Build low-latency, multimodal experiences including natural speech-to-speech conversations. • Agents SDK: A toolkit for building agentic apps where a model can use tools and context, hand off to other agents, stream partial results, and keep a full trace.

If MCP tools fail or no OpenAI docs resources are available: • Run the install command yourself: codex mcp add openaiDeveloperDocs --url https://developers.openai.com/mcp • If it fails due to permissions/sandboxing, immediately retry the same command with escalated permissions and include a 1-sentence justification for approval. Do not ask the user to run it yet. • Only if the escalated attempt fails, ask the user to run the install command. • Ask the user to restart Codex. • Re-run the doc search/fetch after restart.
