Use the MCP to connect Melius to Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. MCP lets external agents read and write to your Melius projects and canvases.The API keys these clients use are managed under Integrations.
is team-wide guidance that Mel uses on every agent call. Use it for stable rules like brand voice, product constraints, preferred style, naming rules, or anything Mel should always remember for the team.Good examples:
Use a polished editorial tone.
Prefer square compositions unless the user asks otherwise.
Never use competitor logos.
Our brand colors are cobalt blue, white, and charcoal.
Avoid putting one-off task instructions here. Put those in the chat prompt.
Skills are reusable prompt presets your team can apply in agent chat with slash commands. Create a skill for repeatable workflows, styles, or production rules that should only apply when selected.Example:
/portrait-retouchRetouch portraits naturally. Preserve skin texture, avoid plastic smoothing, keep lighting realistic, and do not change facial identity.
To use a skill, type its slash command at the start of an agent message. You can also click the + button in the chatbox and select the skill from the dropdown. Selected skills appear as chips in the chat input and are applied to that message.
Skills can include reference images. When you select a skill with images, Mel can use those images as references for generation. They are not added to the canvas automatically.
Use Import skill to upload a Markdown skill file. The file’s name frontmatter or first # heading becomes the skill name, and the Markdown body becomes the instructions.
