vidxp-install

vidxp-install is a skill for Codex from grayhatdevelopers/vidxp. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,166 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for installing or repairing VidXP Desktop or its command-line version, then connecting it to Codex through a local MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up VidXP for local video search, verify an existing installation, install an approved version, and configure its Codex connection.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork around choosing a VidXP installation, reusing an existing setup, checking its paths, and fixing a missing runtime before connecting it to Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vidxp-install scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Install VidXP

Reuse a working local VidXP setup when the user approves it. Otherwise, help them choose a setup, install only what they approve, verify it, and connect Codex to its local MCP server.

Check for an existing installation first

Before offering a new install, look for every vidxp executable available to the local shell. Do not modify any candidate. For each one, run:

<absolute-vidxp-path> --version
<absolute-vidxp-path> desktop-probe --json --desktop-version codex-plugin --request-id codex-install

For each successful probe, show the user its executable, version, data_root, repository_root, and model_root. These are the installation's effective paths; existing downloaded models under the reported model_root can be reused. Ask the user to confirm whether to reuse that installation and those paths.

If the user approves reuse, skip installation and upgrades. Use executables from that same environment, preserve the reported paths when registering MCP, and repair a missing surface or dependency only with approval. If no compatible installation is found or the user declines reuse, continue with the setup choice.

Start with the choice

Determine which surface the user wants before downloading anything:

  • Recommend Desktop when they want a guided installer, managed runtime, feature selection, or browser interface.
  • Recommend CLI when they want scripting, terminal control, automation, or a minimal agent-only setup.
  • Clarify that both keep video processing local. The plugin itself is only the bootstrap and agent guidance; VidXP provides the actual MCP server after installation.
  • A browser-only ChatGPT session cannot install native software. Continue only when the agent has an authorized local shell, or give the user the exact manual steps.

Ask before starting an installer, changing a tool environment, or downloading models. Do not download model weights until the user has chosen the search capabilities that need them.
