Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills:skills/parallel-mcp-setup" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills /tmp/parallel-agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/parallel-agent-skills/skills/parallel-mcp-setup ~/.claude/skills/parallel-mcp-setupFrom README
Set up Parallel MCP Configure and verify authenticated Parallel MCP connections. The first supported path is Parallel Search MCP through Bifrost; the steps below apply to that path. Tool descriptions supplied by the MCP server govern search and fetch ; this skill covers and gateway configuration. Inspect the deployment Identify the target Bifrost instance, its configuration source (dashboard or config.json), and the intended downstream agent or virtual key. Inspect existing MCP clients before changing anything; update the matching Parallel connection instead of adding duplicates. Preserve unrelated clients, access rules, and tool approval settings. Confirm access to Bifrost management and a Parallel account credential. These are separate from the downstream agent's Bifrost credential. If access or a secret is missing, prepare the configuration and report what is needed without claiming succeeded.
