System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of adding Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, ensuring they are configured with the correct scope to prevent accidental overwrites and maintain compatibility with Dex updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe MCP Addition: Adds MCP servers using a user-defined scope by default, protecting your custom configurations.
  • Scope Management: Clearly distinguishes between user-scoped (personal, persistent) and project-scoped (team-shared, repo-specific) MCPs.
  • Use Case: You need to add a new MCP server for interacting with a specific API, but you want to ensure this configuration is private to your user account and won't be affected by future Dex updates or shared with other team members.

Quick Start

Add a new MCP server named 'gmail' with user scope using the stdio transport to execute the node script located at .scripts/mcp/gmail-mcp.js.
