Use when installing, configuring, or troubleshooting an authenticated Parallel Search MCP connection in Bifrost, including gateway-level search settings and downstream tool access.
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
# Set up Parallel MCP Configure and verify authenticated Parallel MCP connections. The first supported setup path is Parallel Search MCP through Bifrost; the steps below apply to that path. Tool descriptions supplied by the MCP server govern search and fetch usage; this skill covers installation and gateway configuration. ## 1. Inspect the deployment Identify the target Bifrost instance, its configuration source (dashboard or `config.json`), and the intended downstream agent or virtual key. Inspect existing MCP clients before changing anything; update the matching Parallel connection instead of adding duplicates. Preserve unrelated clients, access rules, and tool approval settings. Confirm access to Bifrost management and a Parallel account credential. These are separate from the downstream agent's Bifrost credential. If access or a secret is missing, prepare the configuration and report what is needed without claiming installation succeeded. Keep secrets in the deployment's secret manager or environment; never put them in skill files, source control, prompts, or tool arguments. ## 2. Configure the authenticated connection …

How to install
mdr add parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills/parallel-mcp-setup@sha256:d4aaceb1d59e8beeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.26574f4, 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.
