Can I use databases with MCP for state management?

Yes, this skill provides specific implementation patterns for integrating SQLite and Redis with MCP tools to handle persistent server-side storage.

How do I save state in an OpenAI Apps SDK widget?

Use the window.openai.setWidgetState() method to persist a JSON-serializable object that can be recovered in subsequent turns from the toolResponseMetadata.

Does widget state overwrite or merge existing data?

State updates are merged with existing state. For example, if you have state {a: 1} and call setWidgetState({b: 2}), the resulting state will be {a: 1, b: 2}.

What is a Widget Session ID?

It is a unique identifier found in toolResponseMetadata used to link multiple tool calls to the same widget instance for server-side session tracking.

What is the best practice for storing sensitive data?

You should use server-side storage (like a database) for sensitive business data and only use widget state for non-sensitive UI-related information.

API 开发

Manages data persistence and session tracking for OpenAI Apps SDK widgets across conversation turns.

关于

This skill provides comprehensive guidance and implementation patterns for maintaining state within the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and OpenAI Apps SDK ecosystem. It enables developers to persist UI configurations, form inputs, and navigation progress using client-side state methods, while also detailing server-side session management strategies in Python and TypeScript. Whether building multi-step wizards or complex data-driven widgets, this skill ensures data consistency across tool calls and user interactions by leveraging session IDs and metadata tracking.
