write-connector

write-connector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from langchain-ai/openwiki. It costs 28 tokens per session (693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for adding a built-in OpenWiki source connector. A connector lets OpenWiki read information from an external knowledge source, such as a service with a read-only MCP interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or reviewing an OpenWiki connector, its authentication, configuration, registry entry, runtime, and tests.
Why use it?
It explains the required code locations and when an existing custom MCP connector is sufficient, reducing unnecessary connector implementations.

About the project

OpenWiki is a command-line tool that has an AI agent create and maintain a linked Markdown wiki from a codebase or personal knowledge sources. It is for coding agents that need current documentation and for people who want to explore that knowledge through a visualizer.

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

write-connector 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 6d 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write An OpenWiki Connector

OpenWiki connectors are built-in TypeScript modules in the OSS repository. Do not create a plugin marketplace, dynamic connector package, or runtime-loaded untrusted connector. Add normal source files and tests.

Prefer Custom MCP For Arbitrary Servers

If the knowledge source already exposes a read-only MCP server (HTTP or stdio), use the built-in custom-mcp connector instead of adding a new ConnectorId:

  • Configure ~/.openwiki/connectors/custom-mcp/config.json with enabled, transport, optional allowedTools, and optional readOnlyOperations.
  • Put secrets in ~/.openwiki/.env and reference them as ${ENV_NAME} in transport headers/env.
  • Agent tools openwiki_list_mcp_tools / openwiki_call_mcp_tool accept custom-mcp.

Add a dedicated built-in connector only when you need provider-specific auth, scoping UI, or deterministic API pulls that MCP cannot express.

Required Shape

  • Add the connector to src/connectors/types.ts and src/connectors/registry.ts.
  • Implement the connector under src/connectors/sources/.ts.
  • The connector must expose a ConnectorRuntime with id, displayName, description, backend, requiredEnv, supportsAgenticDiscovery, and ingest().
  • Ingestion writes raw JSON/manifests under ~/.openwiki/connectors//raw//.
  • State lives in ~/.openwiki/connectors//state.json.
  • Config lives in ~/.openwiki/connectors//config.json.
  • Secrets live in ~/.openwiki/.env and are referenced only by env var name.

Security Rules

  • Never read, print, log, return, or hardcode secret values.
  • Do not store credentials in connector config, raw files, state, logs, or tests.
  • Validate connector IDs and raw file paths so reads and writes stay inside ~/.openwiki/connectors//.
  • Use deterministic ingestion code for credentialed external fetching.
  • If wrapping MCP, treat the MCP server as read-only and call only allowlisted read/dump operations from connector config.
  • Do not let untrusted connector manifests instantiate arbitrary commands or arbitrary network endpoints without explicit built-in code review.
  • For custom-mcp, users configure a reviewed built-in wrapper; still require allowedTools and/or MCP readOnlyHint before agentic tool calls (no mutating-tool heuristics beyond Notion's hosted endpoint).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

write-connector is a skill published in the GitHub repository langchain-ai/openwiki (16,153 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 693 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
