Guides Hub

Implementation guides for MCP operators, agent builders, and runtime troubleshooters.

This hub exists for the moment after discovery. Use it when you already know the tool or stack you care about and now need setup steps, rollout guardrails, troubleshooting logic, or workflow decisions that hold up in production.

Coverage

implementation guides and operating docs live in this hub

Setup heavy

guides focused on first-run setup, MCP wiring, and environment bootstrap

Operator depth

workflow and troubleshooting pages for teams past simple installation

Start Here

Choose the path that matches today's bottleneck.

Good implementation hubs do not dump every article into one flat list. They help you move from the current problem to the next correct page without opening five irrelevant tabs first.

Start a fresh MCP setup

Pick this path when the team needs a working install route from zero, not a theory article.

Validate MCP discovery before install

Use this lane when the question is source trust, browser capability, or whether a server belongs in production.

Fix a drifting environment

Use this lane when the install completed but skills, indexing, or runtime state still feel wrong.

Choose a stack or operating model

Read this when the real decision is platform fit, workflow shape, or how the stack behaves in production.

Guide Categories

Browse by implementation outcome, not just title.

The fastest way to pick the right guide is to decide whether the real problem is setup, recovery, stack selection, or workflow design. Each section below groups articles by that outcome instead of by arbitrary publish order.

Setup

Setup guides

Use these when you are bootstrapping a new environment, integrating an MCP server, or validating first-run setup.

Editor setupSetup

Cursor skills hub

Choose Cursor-ready MCP servers, rules, and workflow skills without overloading the editor or permission surface.

Use this when the query specifically mentions Cursor skills, Cursor MCP, or editor-based agent workflows.

Production workflow patterns for repeatable orchestration and execution loops.

Helps operators turn one-off successes into repeatable process lanes.

Open guide →

OperationsWorkflow

EvoMap prompt memory sync

Keep prompts, memory, and runtime coordination aligned across agent sessions.

Designed for teams fighting prompt drift and memory fragmentation.

Open guide →

Go-to-marketWorkflow

EvoMap OpenClaw bounty monetization

A practical guide to monetization angles around OpenClaw-style ecosystems.

Useful when you need commercialization logic, not just implementation notes.

Open guide →

Selection Matrix

Open one guide based on the job, not the loudest keyword.

Teams lose time when they read three setup articles to solve a recovery problem, or a workflow essay when they really needed a first-run command reference. This matrix keeps the hub practical.

I need a fresh local setup that teammates can reproduce.

npx neonctl@latest init

It is the clearest route for validating first-run artifacts, prerequisites, and post-init checks.

I need to know which MCP server or client source is trustworthy before install.

MCP Apps directory

It separates official and community sources so discovery does not turn into package-name guessing.

I need browser control for QA, scraping, screenshots, or authenticated portal checks.

MCP browser automation

It maps local Playwright/Puppeteer and managed browser choices to the right risk level.

I need to package a local MCP server for one-click desktop install.

MCP desktop extensions

It explains DXT legacy naming, current MCPB bundles, install friction, admin controls, and rollout safety checks.

I already know I need Neon MCP, but I want the broader rollout logic.

NeonCtl MCP init guide

It frames setup as a team baseline instead of a one-machine command.

The install finished, but skills are not showing up correctly.

MoltBook skills not found fix

It targets discovery and indexing breakpoints instead of generic install steps.

I need to compare two agent stacks before committing.

EvoMap vs OpenClaw

It covers positioning, workflow fit, and deployment tradeoffs in one place.

The tools are installed, but team execution is still inconsistent.

EvoMap workflow patterns

It focuses on repeatability and operating discipline rather than onboarding.

Why this hub exists

The directory answers “what is this?” The guides hub answers “what do I do next?”

AgentSkillsHub covers both discovery and implementation. Discovery pages are good when you are mapping the landscape. Guides matter later, when the team already has a tool or stack in mind and needs setup steps, file-side effects, rollout discipline, or a reliable comparison between two execution models.

That is why this hub is intentionally narrower than the full skills directory. The goal is not to list everything. The goal is to route operators to the right implementation depth fast enough that setup drift, false-positive success, and documentation sprawl do not slow down the actual work.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the guides hub

What is the difference between the guides hub and the main skills directory?

The skills directory helps you discover tools and capabilities quickly. The guides hub is for implementation detail, rollout decisions, troubleshooting, and operating patterns after discovery.

Which guide should I read first for Neon MCP onboarding?

Start with the npx neonctl@latest init guide if you need the exact CLI setup path. Move to the NeonCtl MCP init guide when you need the broader rollout policy and team baseline.

Are these pages only for one editor or one agent runtime?

No. The hub is organized by outcome: setup, troubleshooting, comparison, and workflow. Most guides call out where editor-specific or runtime-specific behavior matters.

How should teams use this hub during implementation?

Use the start-here paths first, open one guide that matches the current bottleneck, and only add a second guide when the problem changes from setup to troubleshooting or from implementation to operating model.

When should I leave the guides hub and go back to skills pages?

Return to the skills directory when you are exploring tooling options. Stay in the guides hub when you already know the tool and need steps, guardrails, validation, or workflow decisions.

Where should I start for MCP server discovery or browser automation?

Start with the MCP Apps directory when source verification matters, the Best MCP Servers guide when you need a shortlist, and the MCP browser automation scenario when the work involves page rendering, screenshots, or web task execution.
