Manages MCP sources for enterprise search: detects connected tools, guides new connections, orders priorities by query type, and handles rate limiting.
From enterprise-searchnpx claudepluginhub 8gg-git/knowledge-work-plugins --plugin enterprise-searchThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Designs and optimizes AI agent action spaces, tool definitions, observation formats, error recovery, and context for higher task completion rates.
Enables AI agents to execute x402 payments with per-task budgets, spending controls, and non-custodial wallets via MCP tools. Use when agents pay for APIs, services, or other agents.
Compares coding agents like Claude Code and Aider on custom YAML-defined codebase tasks using git worktrees, measuring pass rate, cost, time, and consistency.
If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.
Knows what sources are available, helps connect new ones, and manages how sources are queried.
Determine which MCP sources are connected by checking available tools. Each source corresponds to a set of MCP tools:
| Source | Key capabilities |
|---|---|
| ~~chat | Search messages, read channels and threads |
| Search messages, read individual emails | |
| ~~cloud storage | Search files, fetch document contents |
| ~~project tracker | Search tasks, typeahead search |
| ~~CRM | Query records (accounts, contacts, opportunities) |
| ~~knowledge base | Semantic search, keyword search |
If a tool prefix is available, the source is connected and searchable.
When a user searches but has few or no sources connected:
You currently have [N] source(s) connected: [list].
To expand your search, you can connect additional sources in your MCP settings:
- ~~chat — messages, threads, channels
- ~~email — emails, conversations, attachments
- ~~cloud storage — docs, sheets, slides
- ~~project tracker — tasks, projects, milestones
- ~~CRM — accounts, contacts, opportunities
- ~~knowledge base — wiki pages, knowledge base articles
The more sources you connect, the more complete your search results.
When a user asks about a specific tool that is not connected:
[Tool name] isn't currently connected. To add it:
1. Open your MCP settings
2. Add the [tool] MCP server configuration
3. Authenticate when prompted
Once connected, it will be automatically included in future searches.
Different query types benefit from searching certain sources first. Use these priorities to weight results, not to skip sources:
Decision queries ("What did we decide..."):
1. ~~chat (conversations where decisions happen)
2. ~~email (decision confirmations, announcements)
3. ~~cloud storage (meeting notes, decision logs)
4. Wiki (if decisions are documented)
5. Task tracker (if decisions are captured in tasks)
Status queries ("What's the status of..."):
1. Task tracker (~~project tracker — authoritative status)
2. ~~chat (real-time discussion)
3. ~~cloud storage (status docs, reports)
4. ~~email (status update emails)
5. Wiki (project pages)
Document queries ("Where's the doc for..."):
1. ~~cloud storage (primary doc storage)
2. Wiki / ~~knowledge base (knowledge base)
3. ~~email (docs shared via email)
4. ~~chat (docs shared in channels)
5. Task tracker (docs linked to tasks)
People queries ("Who works on..." / "Who knows about..."):
1. ~~chat (message authors, channel members)
2. Task tracker (task assignees)
3. ~~cloud storage (doc authors, collaborators)
4. ~~CRM (account owners, contacts)
5. ~~email (email participants)
Factual/Policy queries ("What's our policy on..."):
1. Wiki / ~~knowledge base (official documentation)
2. ~~cloud storage (policy docs, handbooks)
3. ~~email (policy announcements)
4. ~~chat (policy discussions)
When query type is unclear:
1. ~~chat (highest volume, most real-time)
2. ~~email (formal communications)
3. ~~cloud storage (documents and files)
4. Wiki / ~~knowledge base (structured knowledge)
5. Task tracker (work items)
6. CRM (customer data)
MCP sources may have rate limits. Handle them gracefully:
Rate limit responses typically appear as:
When a source is rate limited:
Note: [Source] is temporarily rate limited. Results below are from
[other sources]. You can retry in a few minutes to include [source].
Track source availability during a session:
Source Status:
~~chat: ✓ Available
~~email: ✓ Available
~~cloud storage: ✓ Available
~~project tracker: ✗ Not connected
~~CRM: ✗ Not connected
~~knowledge base: ⚠ Rate limited (retry in 2 min)
When reporting search results, include which sources were searched so the user knows the scope of the answer.
The enterprise search plugin works with any MCP-connected source. As new MCP servers become available, they can be added to the .mcp.json configuration. The search and digest commands will automatically detect and include new sources based on available tools.
To add a new source:
