CLI

Skills, MCP and repository trust

Customize Cortex CLI while keeping executable repository content disabled by default.

Terminal window
cortex trust status --workspace .
cortex trust set --workspace . --agents-md allow --hooks deny --skills allow --compatibility deny --plugins deny
cortex skills list --workspace .
cortex mcp list

User skills are loaded from the protected user configuration area. Repository skills under .cortex/skills/ require explicit trust for their current revision. AGENTS.md, hooks, compatibility content and plugins have independent allow or deny decisions.

Organization-managed MCP servers are listed and inspected through Cortex. Login, logout, add and remove remain subject to policy. Provider and MCP credentials stay server-side; the CLI does not persist them in repository configuration.
