Poke Setup

You can connect your MCP server to Poke at (poke.com/settings/connections)[poke.com/settings/connections]. To test the connection explitly, ask poke somethink like Tell the subagent to use the "{connection name}" integration's "{tool name}" tool. If you run into persistent issues of poke not calling the right MCP (e.g. after you've renamed the connection) you may send clearhistory to poke to delete all message history and start fresh. We're working hard on improving the integration use of Poke :)
