Extend Waker capabilities by installing Skills and configuring connectors and MCP services.
Skills provide reusable work methods, while connectors let Waker call external applications or MCP tools. They serve different purposes:
Only install Skills directly related to the Waker's responsibilities to avoid conflicts between similar capabilities.
Connectors manage external applications and MCP services. Go to Waker details → "Connectors," then choose an addition method based on the configuration source:
Adding a Custom MCP:
DingTalk DWS MCP is a "System" connector that can read, summarize, and send DingTalk group messages within its authorized scope.
After authorization, verify in a regular conversation first: read a small number of messages from the test group, generate a summary, and send fixed text to the designated test group.
Completion criteria: DWS tool calls succeed, read and send targets are correct, and summaries match the original messages. Before enabling automatic message sending in production, limit the target group and sending frequency, and specify "do not send on error" in the task description. After modifying connectors, open a new conversation to test.
Installing and Managing Skills
Installing from the Skill Marketplace
- Go to the target Waker → "Skills" → "Skill Marketplace."
- Search for and open the target Skill; after confirming its purpose and source, click "Install."
- Go to "My Skills" to confirm the status is "Installed."

Uploading Custom Skills
-
On the "Skills" page, click "Upload Skill" and select a
.mdfile or a supported archive. -
The
.mdfile must containnameanddescription; archives must containSKILL.md. - After uploading, go to "My Skills" to confirm the result.
SKILL.md and its referenced content before uploading.
Post-Change Verification:
To roll back or uninstall, go to "My Skills" → target Skill → "More Actions." Before making changes, check whether any automated tasks or WakerFlows depend on the Skill. After changes, start a new conversation and verify with a minimal task.
Completion criteria: The current version or installation state matches expectations; capability changes are effective in new conversations; workflows that depend on the Skill do not produce missing-capability errors.
If installation or upload fails, check the network, file structure, and same-name versions, then retry.
Adding Connectors and MCP Services
Connectors manage external applications and MCP services. Go to Waker details → "Connectors," then choose an addition method based on the configuration source:
| Current Situation | Selection |
|---|---|
| Using a built-in product service, e.g. DingTalk DWS | "System" |
| Using an application integration provided on the page | "Applications" |
| Adding a single custom MCP service | "Manual Configuration" |
Already have a complete mcpServers configuration | "Paste JSON Configuration" |

- In "Applications," click "Add."
- When you only have information for a single service, select "Manual Configuration" — fill in the name, startup command or server address, and optionally set environment variables, Headers, and timeout.
-
When you have a complete configuration, select "Paste JSON Configuration" — paste the complete JSON containing
mcpServers, confirm the page correctly identifies the service, then click "Import." - Before saving, confirm the command or URL is reachable, expose only necessary directories, and store credentials in protected environment variables.
- When the status shows "Authorization Required," complete authorization.
- Click "Detect" or "Re-detect" and wait for the status to become "Connected."
- Refresh the tools and enable only the tools the current Waker needs.
- Start a new conversation and verify with a minimal task.
Enabling and Verifying DingTalk DWS MCP
DingTalk DWS MCP is a "System" connector that can read, summarize, and send DingTalk group messages within its authorized scope.
- Go to the target Waker → "Connectors" → "System" and find "DingTalk DWS."
- Follow the page prompts to install, update, or authorize the DWS CLI.
- Refresh the page and confirm the connector status is "Connected."
