MCP setup guide
MCP tools let a Skill interact with things like calendars and contacts. The key is not “more access” — it’s the right access, with clear rules.
1) Start with one outcome
Pick a single thing the Skill should accomplish (e.g., scheduling follow-ups).
2) Choose the minimum tools
Start with calendar and/or contacts. Add other tools only after behavior is stable.
3) Define boundaries
Decide what the Skill can read, what it can write, and when it must ask for approval.
Common safety rules
- • Require approval for writes (creating events, editing contacts) until you trust the behavior
- • Treat personal data as sensitive by default
- • Add a “handoff to a human” rule for ambiguous requests
- • Log and review edge cases during early rollout
