Model Context Protocol
Install and use MCP
Protocol-driven tool integration layer used by AI agents to connect with structured tools, servers, and external context.
Quick summary
Set up an MCP-compatible client or agent, configure trusted MCP servers, then connect reusable workflows and tools deliberately.
Setup steps
- 01Choose an MCP-compatible client or agent environment.
- 02Configure the MCP server entries you actually trust and need.
- 03Verify each server tool contract before letting it touch real systems.
- 04Use small, testable workflows first before wiring MCP into broader automation.
Where skills live
MCP setups vary by client; skills usually map to tool definitions, server configuration, or reusable workflow instructions.
Notes
- MCP is a protocol, not a single app, so installation depends on the client you use.
- Treat every MCP server like executable infrastructure: verify permissions and scope before enabling it.
