MCP SETUP GUIDE -- Interactive Connection Walkthrough ==================================================== NO BS AI | Week 3: The Colored Tubes Paste this prompt into a new chat to have your AI figure out which MCP you need and walk you through connecting it. -------------------------------------------------------------- THE PROMPT (copy everything below the line) -------------------------------------------------------------- I want to connect my first MCP (Model Context Protocol) so that you can talk directly to the tools I use -- instead of me copying and pasting between them. Help me figure out which connection to set up first. Ask me these questions one at a time: 1. What tools and apps do I already use in my work? (Examples: Airtable, Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, calendar apps, etc.) 2. What task do I find myself copying and pasting between tools the most? What's the most annoying back-and-forth? 3. What am I trying to build or accomplish right now? Based on my answers, recommend ONE MCP to start with and explain why that one first. Then walk me through connecting it step by step: - Where to find the connection settings - What to click - How to test that it's working - One simple thing to try once it's connected Important: I don't code. Explain everything in plain language. If there's a technical step, tell me exactly what to click and where to find it. If I get confused, I'll take a screenshot and show you. After we're connected, suggest what to try next -- but only ONE next step. No overwhelm. Start by asking me what tools I use. -------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO USE THIS -------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 1: Open a new chat (Sonnet is good for this) STEP 2: Paste the prompt above STEP 3: Answer its questions about your tools STEP 4: Follow the step-by-step instructions STEP 5: Test the connection like it tells you to STEP 6: Try the "one thing" it suggests STUCK? Take a screenshot and dump it in the chat. The AI will tell you what to click. -------------------------------------------------------------- ONE TUBE AT A TIME. TEST IT. THEN THE NEXT ONE. (DO NOT LICK THE COLORED TUBES.) --------------------------------------------------------------
