Quick start guide

Start by connecting your MCP-compatible assistant and exploring the sample library, or build your first library.

  • Consume context — Use shared /instructions and @knowledge in your tools.
  • Curate context — Create and publish context libraries for your team.

Connect your tool to use shared /instructions and @knowledge from Sokket.

  1. Log in to your Sokket dashboard
  2. Select Connect in the header
  3. Select your tool
  4. Copy your organisation’s MCP endpoint URL
  5. Configure your tool with the MCP endpoint using your tool’s MCP settings
  6. Approve authentication
  7. In your tool, access your libraries in the agent chat
  8. Run a Sample Library /instruction (e.g., test-prompt) to confirm the connection

See Connect tools for tool-specific setup instructions.

Curate context by creating a library, adding instructions and knowledge, publishing it, then using it in your MCP-compatible tools.

  1. Create a new library

    • Select + Library in the sidebar
    • Enter a name, for example build
    • Press Enter to create
  2. Add @knowledge (optional) Knowledge gives your tools reusable reference material.

    • Select + Knowledge
    • Name the file, for example repository-cleanliness.md
    • Add your content
    • Add a short description if helpful
    • Select Save
  3. Create an /instruction Instructions are reusable prompt templates for your tools.

    • Select + Instruction inside your library
    • Add a name, for example create-spec.md
    • Add a short description
    • Add your instruction content in the editor
    • To accept user input, include argument input parameters such as “$featureDetails”
    • To reference knowledge inside an instruction such as “Use the guidelines in @repository-cleanliness”
    • Select Save
  4. Publish your context

    • Toggle Publish on each file you want to make available in tools
    • Drafts remain only in Sokket and will not appear in your tools
  5. Connect your tool If your tool is not connected yet:

    • Follow the Connect tools guide
    • Your MCP client will fetch your published libraries automatically
  6. Use your context library in your editor

    • Open your tool’s agent chat
    • Enter / or @ to trigger the context menu
    • Your published instructions and knowledge appear under your libraries
    • Select an instruction to run it inside your workflow
