1. Identify the host and intent
Identify whether you are running in ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, or another MCP client. Find your client’s setup guide. For research or account visibility, choose Gina Read. If the user wants execution, choose the relevant write connection. Do not infer permission to execute from an installation request.2. Install or connect
Follow the host’s guide. Use its supported plugin route when available; otherwise configure direct MCP. Installing a skill alone does not connect tools. Do not invent package names, marketplace listings, or executable install scripts. The plugin and skill guide identifies canonical skill paths and verified source installation routes. SDK and CLI source in the repository do not imply published packages.3. Load the applicable skill
For the read-only plugin, select the skill matching the task: account review, spot research, Hyperliquid research, or prediction-market research. Follow its routing and error handling. These skills remain read-only even if other connections are installed.4. Authenticate
Start the host’s connection flow and let the user complete Gina OAuth in the browser. For a token-based client, direct the user to manual authentication. Keep credentials in the host’s private configuration, never in chat, committed files, or reports. If a user action is required, state exactly what they need to do and resume verification afterward.5. Discover and verify tools
Refresh or list the connection’s tools. For Gina Read, expect named research tools such asgetSimplePrice, getTokenChart, and getAccountAddresses, possibly with a host prefix. There must be no bash or mutation tool from this connection.
If the boundary differs, check the configured URL and scope before continuing. For write connections, compare discovery with the venue reference and inspect current schemas before constructing calls.
