Hookdeck Agent Skills

Equip your AI coding agent with webhook and event-driven architecture expertise. Receive, queue, route, and deliver webhooks with Hookdeck Event Gateway, test webhooks locally with the Hookdeck CLI, and build outbound webhook delivery with Hookdeck Outpost.

Install (Agent Skills / Other Agents)

For Claude, ChatGPT, and other agents that support the Agent Skills specification:

npx skills add hookdeck/agent-skills

Event Gateway Workflow

The event-gateway skill includes a staged integration workflow:

1. Setup -- Create account, install CLI, create connection
2. Scaffold -- Build webhook handler with verification code (for provider webhooks like Stripe or Shopify, use event-gateway together with the matching skill from webhook-skills)
3. Listen -- Start hookdeck listen, trigger test events
4. Iterate -- Debug failures, fix code, replay events

Hookdeck CLI MCP (reference)

The Hookdeck CLI includes a beta MCP server (hookdeck gateway mcp) that exposes Event Gateway data as MCP tools over stdio. In practice it is operational support: query, inspect, and diagnose connections, requests, events, attempts, issues, and metrics from your agent or IDE—without replacing the full CLI or API for creating resources, retries, or local tunnel workflows.

For setup, client configuration, available tools, and what MCP can and cannot do, see the official docs:

• MCP & Skills — overview and when to pair MCP with agent skills
• Hookdeck CLI — MCP is linked from the Event Gateway operations table (command usage, auth, client configuration)

The skills in this repository remain the primary way to guide an agent through product workflows (setup, handlers, hookdeck listen, Outpost, API usage). Use CLI MCP when you want read-heavy inspection and analysis against your live Hookdeck project.
