The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Configure MCP servers to give the assistant access to any external tool or service that publishes an MCP endpoint.
DO NOT run exploratory commands. Do not check available CLI commands, search for bun/npx/node, or investigate transport types. Follow the steps below exactly and stop when done. (Looking up a service's MCP endpoint URL in its own documentation is allowed when the service is not in the recipe table, per Step 3.)
USE THIS SKILL WHEN:
assistant mcp auth <name>Many services have built-in OAuth integrations that are simpler and more reliable than MCP. Before setting up MCP, check whether the service already has a native OAuth provider:
assistant oauth providers list
If the service appears in that list, connect it natively instead of using MCP:
assistant oauth connect <provider>
Only use MCP when:
assistant oauth providers listBefore doing anything else, determine which environment you are in.
Try host_bash:
