Give Kendr the right instructions and tools.

Skills and MCP are different

Install a skill pack in Kendr Desktop

1. 1
   Open Kendr Desktop

   Sign in with the Kendr account you use for Cloud and API access.
2. 2
   Open Skills → Marketplace

   Search by pack name, workflow, tool, or category.
3. 3
   Review the pack

   Read its description, included skills, MCP servers, tool count, version, source, and any credential requirements.
4. 4
   Install and enable

   Install the pack, then enable the pack or only the individual skills you want Kendr to use.
5. 5
   Provide required connections

   If the pack needs a service token, local runtime, or app connection, complete that setup before the first task.
6. 6
   Run a matching task

   Describe the outcome in Chat or agentic mode. Kendr can select the enabled skill when its instructions match your request.

Connect a remote MCP server

Use this flow for a trusted MCP endpoint that supports Streamable HTTP or HTTP/SSE over HTTPS.

1. 1
   Get the official endpoint

   Copy the public MCP URL from the server provider. Confirm the hostname and documentation before entering a token.
2. 2
   Open MCP servers

   Sign in and open Account → MCP servers.
3. 3
   Describe the server

   Enter a human-readable name, a unique server label, its HTTPS endpoint, and a description of when Kendr should use it.
4. 4
   Limit tools when possible

   Enter a comma-separated allowlist such as search, fetch. Leave it empty only when every tool exposed by the server is appropriate.
5. 5
   Add authorization

   If required, paste the OAuth access token or bearer token. Kendr stores it separately and does not display the full value again.
6. 6
   Trust and enable

   Confirm that you trust the server and its tools, then enable it for Chat.
7. 7
   Activate it in Chat

   Open Chat → Tools, select the server, and run a read-only request first to confirm the connection.

MCP connection fields

Connect MCP through the API

Signed-in applications can create the same account-scoped MCP configuration with POST /api/me/mcp-servers.

curl https://kendr.org/api/me/mcp-servers \
  -X POST \
  -H "X-Kendr-Session: $KENDR_SESSION" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Company knowledge",
    "server_label": "company_knowledge",
    "server_url": "https://mcp.example.com/mcp",
    "description": "Search approved company documentation.",
    "allowed_tools": ["search", "fetch"],
    "authorization": "YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN",
    "trusted": true,
    "enabled": true
  }'

List configurations with GET /api/me/mcp-servers. Update or delete one server at /api/me/mcp-servers/{server_id}. Treat the authorization value as a secret and never log the request body.

Use MCP tools safely

• Connect only servers whose publisher, hostname, permissions, and privacy policy you trust.
• Start with read-only tools and a narrow allowlist. Add write or destructive tools only when you need them.
• Assume a selected tool may receive the relevant prompt, file content, or conversation context needed to complete its call.
• Review proposed sends, changes, deployments, purchases, deletions, and other consequential actions before allowing them.
• Rotate service tokens on a schedule and immediately after suspected exposure.
• Disable or delete a server that behaves unexpectedly; removing it prevents Chat from using its tools.
