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.
