Prepare MCP/vendor integrations through cited research, a content PR, exact-revision human approval, and one governed Paperclip connector PR per approved connection. Use for new integration research and delivery; not for ad hoc connector coding that bypasses the playbooks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Prepare MCP Integration Take an input link or vendor brief through two separate phases: a reviewable research PR in `paperclip-content`, then connector implementation in Paperclip App only after a human accepts the exact research revision and connection set. ## Preserve These Boundaries - Treat `paperclip-content/integrations/README.md` as the research contract and `paperclip-content/integrations/skills/integration-harness/SKILL.md` as its entrypoint. Reference and run them; do not copy their schemas, templates, state machines, reconciliation rules, or internal gates into this skill. - Treat `paperclip/doc/connections/CONNECTOR-PLAYBOOK.md` on the implementation target branch as the connector contract. Follow it end to end; do not substitute remembered behavior or the examples in this skill. - Finish Phase A with a research-only PR. Do not create an App implementation branch, task, or code change before the research gate is accepted. - Bind acceptance to one research PR head SHA and an explicit connection set. Acceptance does not cover later commits or additional connections. - Create one Paperclip App PR per approved connection. Shared prerequisite …

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/prepare-mcp-integration@sha256:5278d288a0cbfe10The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260829.cabc914, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
