Skill suggestion: SandBase for 2,000+ AI models and APIs through local MCP

Author: denial123789Created Aug 19, 2026Updated Aug 28, 2026

Hi maintainers — thanks for maintaining Awesome Codex Skills.

I would like to suggest SandBase, an official portable Skill paired with a local MCP bridge for Codex.

What it does

The Skill teaches Codex a safe discover → inspect → run workflow for accessing 2,000+ AI models and APIs. Coverage includes LLMs, image/video/audio generation, embeddings, web search, scraping, social data, and structured APIs.

Its companion local MCP bridge exposes six focused tools for discovery, schema/pricing inspection, execution, asynchronous polling, run history, and account balance. Browser OAuth avoids configuring separate provider API keys.

Why it fits Awesome Codex Skills

  • Codex is a first-class target in the 25-client catalog.
  • connect --client codex configures the local MCP bridge and managed Skill.
  • The repository ships a conventional skills/sandbase/SKILL.md and skill.json.
  • The Skill includes explicit tool-selection boundaries, pricing inspection, error handling, polling guidance, and safety rules.
  • The release install is immutable and checksum-verifiable.
  • Public TypeScript repository with passing CI.

Possible entry under AI & Data or Integrations:

markdown
- [sandbase](https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/tree/main/skills/sandbase) - Discover, inspect, and run 2,000+ AI models and APIs through six local MCP tools, with browser OAuth and Codex-specific setup.

Disclosure: this submission is for the official SandBase AI organization repository. I searched the repository and all existing issues before submitting and found no duplicate. No external fork was created.
