SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of adding new MCP (Meta-Cognitive Processing) servers to your Amp setup, ensuring they are configured safely and persist across updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe MCP Addition: Adds MCP servers with a default 'user' scope, preventing accidental overwrites and ensuring custom servers survive Amp updates.
  • Flexible Scoping: Allows explicit selection of 'user' or 'project' scope for different sharing and persistence needs.
  • Use Case: You need to integrate a custom Notion MCP server to manage your notes. This Skill allows you to add it easily with the recommended user scope, so it's always available and won't be lost if Amp is updated.

Quick Start

Add a local stdio MCP server named 'gmail' using the command 'claude mcp add --scope user gmail -- --transport stdio -- node .scripts/mcp/gmail-mcp.js'.
