Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Plugin not appearing after adding marketplace | Make sure you entered xplusplusai/autoxpp-for-codex exactly. Check the XPLUSPLUS.AI tab in /plugins. |
| MCP connection error after key setup | Restart Codex so the MCP server connects, then run $autoxpp:autoxpp-setup-api-key again to validate. |
| Skills show "locked" or "requires upgrade" | Your API key may be for the free tier. Visit xplusplus.ai/autoxpp to upgrade. |
| Free skills not working | Free skills (browser-v2, azure-devops, sql-jit, ude-switch) don't need an API key. Make sure the plugin itself is installed and enabled. |
