box by Simular for ChatGPT and Codex
The OpenAI plugin package: one listing covers ChatGPT and Codex. It connects the remote MCP server
https://mcp.box.simular.ai/mcp with OAuth (dynamic client registration) and ships two skills:
get-started (onboarding) and box (a copy of claude/skills/box/SKILL.md).
Format: OpenAI's portable plugin layout (https://developers.openai.com/plugins/build/plugins):
plugin.json with listing, review test cases and release notes under extensions.com.openai,
mcp.json, skills/ and assets/ (the box mark, rendered from box-portal public/favicon.svg).
Build the ZIP
openai/build-zip.sh # writes box-by-simular-openai-<version>.zip in the current folder
Upload it at https://platform.openai.com/plugins (Upload new or existing plugin, "With MCP").
Not in the package (entered in the portal)
- The reviewer test account and its sign-in steps. Never put credentials in this folder.
- The demo video link, unless it is added here as
review.demo_recording_url. - The domain verification token: box serves it at
https://mcp.box.simular.ai/.well-known/openai-apps-challenge(prod values,oauth.openai_apps_challenge).
Releasing an update
Bump version in plugin.json (OpenAI refuses an unchanged version), update
publication.release_notes, rebuild and upload. name (box-by-simular) can never change.
Tool changes on the MCP server need no new ZIP; OpenAI rescans the server.
