Install one general Timeline skill that teaches your agent how to retrieve, verify, and cite workspace evidence visible to you as the authorizing member.
One bundle adds the Timeline skill and hosted MCP connection. Choose the install path for Codex or Claude Code.
Paste the prompt into a task. Codex adds the repository marketplace and installs the plugin.
Install The Timeline plugin for this Codex environment.
Run these commands:
codex plugin marketplace add timborovkov/the-timeline-ai \
--ref main \
--sparse .agents/plugins \
--sparse plugins/timeline
codex plugin add timeline@timeline
Then verify that the timeline skill is installed.
The bundled MCP connection uses Timeline OAuth and does not need a bearer key in the plugin manifest. Fully restart Codex, start a new task, and complete the browser flow when prompted: sign in to Timeline, choose the team to share, review the requested scopes, and approve or deny access. The default scope is read. Never request agent:ask unless I explicitly ask for paid, proposal-only Timeline agent turns and the consent screen shows that scope.
When setup is ready, tell me to start a new task so Codex loads the plugin and begins OAuth authorization.Run both commands in a terminal, then restart Claude Code and start a new conversation.
claude plugin marketplace add timborovkov/the-timeline-ai
claude plugin install timeline@timelineInstall only the skill, or connect the MCP endpoint without the plugin.
Best for self-hosted Timeline or agents that already have an MCP connection.
$skill-installer Install this Timeline skill from GitHub:
- https://github.com/timborovkov/the-timeline-ai/tree/main/plugins/timeline/skills/timelineAdd the hosted URL directly. A compatible client discovers Timeline OAuth, opens the browser consent flow, and keeps the resulting grant tied to your member account.
codex mcp add timeline \
--url "https://thetimeline.cc/api/mcp/server"Three steps
Use the Codex install prompt or run the Claude Code marketplace commands. Both packages include the Timeline skill and hosted MCP connection.
Sign in when the browser opens, choose the team to share, review the requested scopes, and approve or deny access.
After consent, start a new task or conversation so your agent uses the installed skill to retrieve and cite workspace evidence.
The Timeline skill routes each request to the relevant MCP tools, expands material source records, and preserves citations, uncertainty, and visibility boundaries.
timelineChoose the right Timeline MCP tools, expand source evidence, distinguish current state from activity, and cite consequential claims.
