SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you configure MCP (Model Context Protocol) services so your AI assistant can reliably discover and use external tools instead of being limited to built-in capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP service setup: Guides you to add, name, enable, and connect MCP servers from the app UI.
  • Transport configuration: Explains both local stdio (process) and remote HTTP connection options, including required fields like command/parameters or URL/headers.
  • Troubleshooting workflow: Covers common failure causes such as missing packages, wrong bundle names, token/env issues, HTTP reachability, and stdio-only limitations.

Quick Start

Add a new MCP service using the left menu’s MCP 服务 page, configure a stdio-based preset like Filesystem, then click 连接 and wait until the status becomes 已连接.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure an MCP server for my AI assistant to access external tools?▼

To configure an MCP server, add a new service via the MCP UI, specify the transport mode (stdio or HTTP), enter required fields like command/parameters or URL/headers, then click connect to enable tool discovery and access.

What is the difference between stdio and HTTP transport modes for MCP services?▼

Stdio transport runs a local process using command and parameters, while HTTP transport connects to a remote server using a URL and headers. Stdio is limited to local execution, whereas HTTP enables remote MCP server availability.

Why does my MCP tool connection fail when I try to enable it?▼

MCP connection failures are typically caused by missing packages, wrong bundle names, token or environment variable issues, HTTP unreachability, or attempting to use stdio-only limitations with unsupported configurations.

Can I use a remote HTTP MCP server with my local AI assistant?▼

Yes, you can connect to a remote HTTP MCP server by selecting the HTTP transport mode during setup and providing the required URL and headers. This allows your assistant to access remote tools over the network.

What configuration fields are required to set up a local stdio MCP server?▼

Setting up a local stdio MCP server requires specifying the service name, selecting the stdio transport mode, and providing the command and its parameters. This enables the AI assistant to launch and communicate with the local process.
