# Customize Capability
Modify a capability that is already installed in this workspace. The most common
request is giving it an **MCP server** so its agent gains new tools, but the same
flow covers adding skills, integrations, or guidance.
A capability's source of truth is its manifest at
`capabilities/<capability-id>/capability.yaml`. Re-installing reads that manifest
and upserts the capability — re-install IS the update mechanism, and it never
creates a duplicate.
## Workflow
1. Identify the capability id from the user's request.
2. Read the current state:
- If `capabilities/<capability-id>/capability.yaml` exists, edit it in place.
- If it does NOT exist (the capability was installed from the catalog), create
it. Reconstruct the existing config first so nothing is dropped: keep the
capability's current skills (as `ref`), its integrations, and its
`agent_prompt`, then add your change on top.
3. Apply the change (see "Adding an MCP server" for the common case).
4. Call the `capability_install` tool with `capability_id: <capability-id>`.
It re-reads the manifest and upserts the capability. A malformed manifest is
rejected with a precise error — fix and retry.
5. Tell the user the change takes effect on the **next** agent run: the runtime
compiles MCP servers at run start, so the current run won't see the new tools.
Ask them to send a new message to pick them up.

Add an `mcp:` block to the manifest. Each server conn...
