Review first — review before installing

Open the source and read safety notes before installing.

Safety notes

  • Skills call Rarefriend MCP with OAuth credentials; store client ID/secret in env or client config, never in chat logs or committed files.
  • Contact, calendar, and email tools mutate user CRM data; confirm destructive actions (delete, bulk update) before executing.
  • LinkedIn and Google/Microsoft integrations depend on connected accounts; verify workspace scope before sharing output externally.

Privacy notes

  • MCP calls send contact names, emails, notes, calendar events, and email metadata to Rarefriend servers for the authenticated user only.
  • Do not paste OAuth client secrets, refresh tokens, or full contact exports into public issues, PRs, or shared transcripts.
  • Per-skill setup in `skills/<name>/references/SETUP.md` describes required scopes and data access for each integration.

Prerequisites

  • Rarefriend account with MCP OAuth credentials (rarefriend.com → Settings → Integrations → MCP)
  • Agent client with Agent Skills support (SKILL.md + MCP)
  • Node.js for `npx skills add` and `npx -y @rarefriend-ai/mcp`

About this resource

Rarefriend Skills

Cross-agent skills for Rarefriend — your personal CRM.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI, and any client that supports the Agent Skills format (SKILL.md + MCP).

Each skill is a focused SKILL.md that teaches your AI assistant a specific Rarefriend capability. Install only what you need, or install all six.

Available skills

Skill What it does
network-and-relationship-manager Full CRM — contacts, notes, tags, all integrations
manage-linkedin-network Search and manage LinkedIn-synced connections
schedule-with-google-calendar Google Calendar scheduling and availability
organize-google-contacts Google Contacts sync and management
schedule-with-outlook Microsoft Outlook contacts and calendar
find-outlook-emails Microsoft email search and management

Install skills

Use the skills CLI (works across supported agents):

All skills:

npx skills add Whitefield-Labs/rarefriend-skills --skill network-and-relationship-manager -y
npx skills add Whitefield-Labs/rarefriend-skills --skill manage-linkedin-network -y
npx skills add Whitefield-Labs/rarefriend-skills --skill schedule-with-google-calendar -y
npx skills add Whitefield-Labs/rarefriend-skills --skill organize-google-contacts -y
npx skills add Whitefield-Labs/rarefriend-skills --skill schedule-with-outlook -y
npx skills add Whitefield-Labs/rarefriend-skills --skill find-outlook-emails -y

Just the main skill (recommended starting point):

npx skills add Whitefield-Labs/rarefriend-skills --skill network-and-relationship-manager -y

Note: The --all flag installs only the first skill due to a known CLI bug (#1015). Use --skill <name> for each one until the bug is fixed.

Cursor: skills install into .cursor/skills/ or ~/.cursor/skills/ depending on scope.

Claude Code / Codex: global install via npx skills add … (same command).

OpenClaw: skills include metadata.openclaw blocks for ClawHub; install via ClawHub or copy from this repo.

Requirements — Rarefriend MCP

Skills call Rarefriend via MCP. Connect once per client:

Client Setup
Claude Code / Codex claude mcp add rarefriend -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_ID=your-id -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_SECRET=your-secret -- npx -y @rarefriend-ai/mcp
Cursor Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json — see MCP repo
Claude Desktop Add to claude_desktop_config.json — see MCP repo
OpenClaw / Gemini CLI / others Run npx -y @rarefriend-ai/mcp with RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_ID and RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_SECRET in env

Get credentials at rarefriend.com → Settings → Integrations → MCP.
