MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets KeenKind use tools and data from external services. It suits databases, knowledge bases, search, team systems, and other standard MCP servers.

Install from the catalog

1. Open Settings > Extensions > MCP.
2. Browse categories or search for a service.
3. Check platforms, launch method, and configuration in its details.
4. Enter required environment variables or connection information.
5. Install and enable it.

Placeholders appear while the catalog loads; an empty state appears only when no results exist.

Add manually

Supported connection methods include:

• stdio: start an MCP server on this device.
• HTTP: connect to a remote MCP service.

Provide a name, connection method, and the matching command, arguments, or URL. Put keys in dedicated credential or environment-variable fields rather than descriptions.

Use in chat

Once enabled, relevant MCP tools become available to KeenKind. Describe the service and goal directly:

Use the connected project-management service to list this week's unfinished high-priority items.

Execution still depends on chat permissions and the service account’s own permissions.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Check
Cannot connect	Launch command, URL, network, and environment variables.
No tools	Service is enabled and connection has completed.
Tool denied	Chat permission mode and service account access.
Fails after restart	Local command path and credentials remain valid.
Unexpected results	Expand results and verify the connected service and account.
