add-mcp-integration skillA

add-mcp-integration is agent-read markdown (skill) from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant: Add a vendor's remote MCP server to the bundled integrations catalog (plugins/mcp-catalog/<name>/ + plugins/marketplace.json) so users can connect it from the Integrations page. Covers vetting the server's OAuth support, the icon, the package files, the generators, the CI checks, and the PR. Use when asked to "add <vendor> MCP", "add <vendor> to integrations", or to check whether a vendor's MCP server is an easy addition..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Add an MCP Integration

A catalog integration is a bundled local plugin whose only content is an
`mcp.json` pointing at the vendor's remote server. The assistant ships it, the
Integrations page lists it, and connecting it runs the MCP OAuth flow in
`assistant/src/mcp/mcp-oauth-provider.ts`.

Scope: remote MCP servers in `plugins/mcp-catalog/`. For a full plugin that
lives in another GitHub repo, see `plugins/README.md` § Marketplace.

Work in a worktree from `origin/main`. One provider per PR.

## 1. Research the server

From the vendor's MCP docs, record:

- The remote URL. Prefer `streamable-http` (docs often say `"type": "http"`).
- The docs page URL. It is both `homepage` and `documentationUrl`.
- A one-line summary of what the tools do.

Reject a server that only runs locally (`npx`, `uvx`, Docker). The catalog
ships no stdio servers.

## 2. Check OAuth support

The catalog's one-step connect needs the server to support OAuth discovery and
dynamic client registration (DCR), because a plugin cannot ship a client
secret.

```bash
URL=https://mcp.example.com/mcp
curl -sS -i -X POST "$URL" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
