Knot Skill

The Knot skill is a structured capability file that tells AI agents what they can build with Knot, what inputs they need, and what constraints apply. Installing it gives your agent the context to integrate Knot across products like CardSwitcher, TransactionLink, Shopping, Vaulting, and Detect — including full API workflows, webhook handling, and SDK setup.
The MCP server helps you search Knot’s docs. The skill teaches your agent how to build with Knot’s products, use cases, and workflows.

​
Install the skill

Run the following command to add Knot’s capabilities to your agent: 
npx skills add https://docs.knotapi.com
This fetches Knot’s skill.md and loads it into your agent’s context so it can take actions on your behalf — like creating sessions, provisioning cards, syncing transactions, and handling webhooks.
