- description
- Stdin/stdout file inbox/outbox bridge for passing files to/from Clawdbot using an MCP stdio server. Use when you want a simple filesystem-backed dropbox: accept files into an inbox, move to tmp for processing, and emit deliverables to an outbox (or a specified path).
stdio-skill
Implement and use a local MCP stdio server that provides a simple inbox/outbox workflow backed by directories on disk.
Paths (workspace-relative):
stdio/inbox/— user drops inputs herestdio/tmp/— scratch area (move/copy inputs here for processing)stdio/outbox/— put deliverables here for pickup
Start the MCP server (via mcporter)
This repo config should include an MCP server named stdio-skill.
- List tools:
- mcporter list stdio-skill --schema --timeout 120000 --json
Tooling model
Prefer: 1) stdio-skill.stdio_list to see what’s waiting. 2) stdio-skill.stdio_read (base64) to pull file contents. 3) stdio-skill.stdio_move to move an item to tmp once you’ve claimed it. 4) Write outputs with stdio-skill.stdio_write (base64) into outbox unless the user provided an explicit destination path.
No deprecated aliases: use the stdio_* tools only.
Notes
- This skill is intentionally dumb/simple: it does not interpret file formats.
- It is safe-by-default: operations are restricted to the three directories above.
- For large files: prefer passing by path + moving files, not embedding giant base64 blobs in chat.
