How to Use Kai’s Abilities
Kai’s Abilities — listed as Tool Library in older screenshots — is where you connect external MCP providers, review the tools they expose, and control which actions KaiCalls is allowed to use.
What This Screen Is For
Open How Kai Works > Kai’s Abilities. Use this screen to add a sandbox provider or a remote MCP server, refresh discovery, inspect health and schema changes, and enable tools for KaiCalls surfaces.
- Connections: MCP providers attached to the selected business.
- Discovered tools: Provider tools KaiCalls has found.
- Need review: Tools that are new, changed, or removed.
- Pending approvals: Owner-gated write actions waiting for a decision.
Connect, Review, Approve
- Click Add Sandbox to test the approval flow safely, or Connect MCP for a real provider.
- Enter the provider name, MCP server URL, auth type, and credential reference if needed.
- Click Save and Discover so KaiCalls can fetch the provider catalog.
- Review each tool's status and risk badge before clicking Enable.
- Approve or reject pending write actions from the approvals panel.
Risk and Approval Rules
