integrate-mcpInstall and wire up an existing MCP server from Smithery.ai or a GitHub repo.
Integrate MCP is an agent skill from davekilleen/Dex. Install and wire up an existing MCP server from Smithery.ai or a GitHub repo. Use when the user names a tool that already has a server — 'add the Notion MCP', 'install this Smithery server'. Not for building a new integration from nothing; use create-mcp. Not for adding one already-known server safely; use dex-add-mcp.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol, GitHub, Notion and npm. The repository describes itself as: Your AI Chief of Staff — a personal operating system starter kit that adapts to your role. No coding required. The licence is MIT.
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d0ffc6b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json, markdown, python and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
smithery.aigithub.comnpmjs.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Integrate MCP loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
1. Set them now (I'll add to `.env` file)Collect values and add to `.env` file:ng, make the file owner-only (`chmod 600 .env`) — create it with that mode if it's new, and tighten it if an existing `.Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

**Want to connect more tools to Dex?**
Some tools have a built-in, guided setup — no marketplace hunting needed:
• **Task apps:** Todoist (`/todoist-setup`), Things 3 (`/things-setup`), Trello (`/trello-setup`) — two-way task sync
• **Email & calendar:** Google Workspace (`/google-workspace-setup`), Microsoft Teams (`/ms-teams-setup`)
• **Meetings:** Granola (`/granola-setup`), Zoom (`/zoom-setup`)
• **Work tracking:** Jira + Confluence (`/atlassian-setup`)
For anything else, there's a marketplace of 100+ pre-built MCP servers at:
**[Smithery.ai](https://smithery.ai/servers)**
These are production-ready integrations for:
• **Dev tools:** GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Jira
• **Productivity:** Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets
• **Communication:** Slack, Discord, Email
• **Databases:** Postgres, MySQL, SQLite
• **Monitoring:** Sentry, Datadog
• **And many more...**
**How this works:**
1. Browse Smithery.ai for MCPs that match your tools
2. Copy the full URL of any MCP you want
3. Paste it here - I'll:
- Fetch the code/documentation
- Explain what it does
- Help you configure it
- Integrate into Dex
- Update documentation
**Or** if you can't find what you need, run `/create-mcp` to build custom.

What sounds good?"If connection fails, provide specific debugging steps:
For authentication issues:
"Authentication failed. Let's debug:
1. Check your API key is correct
2. Verify it has the right permissions
3. Try testing it directly:curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" [api-endpoint]
Want to try a different key?"For installation issues:
"Installation failed. Common fixes:
1. Check Node/Python version:node --version # Should be 18+ python --version # Should be 3.8+
2. Try installing globally:npm install -g [package]
pip install --user [package]
3. Check for conflicts:npm list -g | grep [package]
Want to try these steps?"If user can't find what they need:
"Didn't find [Tool] on Smithery?
No worries - we can build it custom with `/create-mcp`.
That wizard will:
1. Help you find the tool's API docs
2. Design the integration together
3. Generate working MCP code
4. Get it integrated
Takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the API complexity.
Want to build [Tool] integration from scratch?"Then hand off to /create-mcp skill.
After integration:
The experience feels like:
Call the mark_feature_used tool on the dex-analytics MCP server with integrate-mcp. This ticks the feature's box in System/usage_log.md, which is what /dex-level-up reads to recommend features that have not been tried. It writes locally and sends nothing, so it runs whether or not analytics is enabled.
Analytics (Silent):
Call track_event with event_name mcp_integrated and properties:
This only fires if the user has opted into analytics. No action needed if it returns "analytics_disabled".

Install and wire up an existing MCP server from Smithery.ai or a GitHub repo. Integrate MCP is an agent skill from davekilleen/Dex.ai or a GitHub repo.
Integrate MCP fits situations like: the user names a tool that already has a server — add the Notion MCP; install this Smithery server.
Run `npx skills add davekilleen/Dex --skill integrate-mcp -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/integrate-mcp in davekilleen/Dex) into .claude/skills/integrate-mcp in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davekilleen/Dex --skill integrate-mcp -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/integrate-mcp in davekilleen/Dex) into .agents/skills/integrate-mcp in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davekilleen/Dex --skill integrate-mcp -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/integrate-mcp, .gemini/skills/integrate-mcp, .github/skills/integrate-mcp and .opencode/skills/integrate-mcp in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Integrate MCP is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; Docker; A credential in YOUR_KEY.
SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: smithery.ai, github.com and npmjs.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Integrate MCP is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Integrate MCP: Project Release (swimmwatch/cloakbrowser-mcp, 164 stars), Context Mode Upgrade (mksglu/context-mode, 26k stars), Devcontainer Dev (stacklok/toolhive-studio, 171 stars) and Superset Integration Tools (superset-sh/superset, 15k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
