Your tool already exists.
Let Iris reach it.
You have a local MCP server. It needs a command, arguments and an environment setting. Adding a name alone cannot make that server usable.
“Connect this server on my paired computer. Show me what is still missing.”
Installed. Authenticated. Permitted. Different things.
A useful setup flow separates what starts the server, what authenticates it and what the agent is allowed to do. A skill can explain a task; it cannot grant the missing authority.
Try The Situation
Interactive simulation. Fixed sample data. No real actions.

What Changes
When You Use This?
- A connection to a tool you already use.
- A reusable skill or workflow with explicit prerequisites.
- Visible failures when a server, credential or capability is unavailable.
Before you try it for real.
The example explains the behavior. Your actual tools, account and evidence determine what is possible.
What You Need
A compatible server, its required runtime and credentials, and a paired computer for local stdio. Never put secret values in a shared skill or Matrix source.
What Is Enforced, Recorded Or Advised
The platform rechecks enabled resources and execution scope. Authentication does not override tool policy, and adding a package does not approve its actions.
Where It Stops
MCP servers differ in protocol, authentication and output. Local servers need a connected host and their own dependencies. A third-party server can return inaccurate or malicious content; review its access.
The Workflow, Step By Step
Choose The Connection
Add a supported remote MCP endpoint or a local stdio configuration through a paired computer. Supply required arguments, environment variables and supported authentication.
Inspect What Is Available
Discover the server's tools and load the schemas needed for the task. Skills supply reusable instructions; they do not grant credentials or new authority.
Use And Review
Enable the connection for the intended agent and task. Inspect tool results, errors and any required approval before depending on the outcome.
