connect

Connect and verify the Well MCP — authenticate, confirm the tools work, and show what to ask. Use when the user runs /well:connect, just installed the Well plugin, or says the Well connection/MCP "isn't working" / "nothing happened".

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by WellApp-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Connect AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/WellApp-ai/Well.git /tmp/Well
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Well/plugins/well/skills/connect .claude/skills/connect

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Connect in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Connect on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Connect is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Connect to Well

Run this right after installing the Well plugin, or whenever the Well tools aren't responding. Walk the user through it conversationally — do not dump all steps at once if a step is already done.

1. Confirm the MCP server is registered

Installing the plugin auto-adds the well MCP server (it is bundled in the plugin manifest). If the user just installed it, make sure it's active:

Tell them to run /reload-plugins if they haven't since installing.
The server should now appear when they run /mcp.

2. Authenticate (one time, browser sign-in — no API key)

The Well MCP uses OAuth, so the first connection needs a one-time sign-in:

Run /mcp, select well, and choose Authenticate. A browser opens — sign in to your Well account and approve. No API key, no config.

If /mcp shows well as already authenticated, skip this.

3. Verify it works

Call well_get_schema (no arguments) to confirm the connection is live. If it returns the list of roots (companies, invoices, transactions, ledger_accounts, …), the connection is working — tell the user "Connected ✓, N data types available."

If it returns an auth error, send them back to step 2. If it returns a server error on the heavy roots, the connection is fine but the workspace data path may be temporarily unavailable — say so rather than implying the setup failed.

4. Show what to ask

Once connected, offer 3 concrete starting prompts so the user gets value immediately:

"Summarize last month's cash flow"
"List my unpaid invoices over €5,000"
"Build my compte de résultat for the last quarter"

Mention the deeper skills are available too: /well:reconciliation, /well:vat-summary, /well:ar-aging, /well:month-end-close, /well:compte-de-resultat, /well:balance-sheet, /well:cash-flow-forecast.

Note on billing

Tool calls use Well credits, billed to the workspace plan. Mention this once if the user asks about cost — do not interrupt every call.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Connect AI skill do?

Why use Connect on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Connect is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Connect in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/WellApp-ai/Well/tree/main/plugins/well/skills/connect. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Connect?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Connect?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Connect with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Connect AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by WellApp-ai under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
