# Using AI Tools (Skills)
# What are AI Tools?
AI Tools (Skills) are extensions provided by GROWI MCP Server. By installing skills in your MCP client (such as Claude Desktop), you can use advanced workflows integrated with GROWI.
AI Tools work by connecting to GROWI MCP via UTCP Code-Mode. However, you do not need to configure UTCP Code-Mode manually in advance. The setup skill interactively guides you through everything from UTCP Code-Mode configuration to verifying the GROWI connection.
# Setup Flow
Getting started with AI Tools takes the following steps:
- Install the skills — Follow the "Installing Skills" instructions below.
- Ask your agent to set up GROWI — After installing, restart your agent and say "Set up GROWI."
- Follow the skill's guidance — The setup skill interactively guides you through UTCP Code-Mode configuration and connection verification. Have your GROWI URL and access token ready.
TIP
For how to obtain an access token, or for manual connection setup without the skill, see GROWI MCP Server.

# Smart Save
# What is Smart Save?
Smart Save is a feature that automatically suggests destination directories when saving content to GROWI using AI.
Simply tell your MCP client "Save this to GROWI," and it will analyze the content, search for related pages and appropriate categories, and present destination candidates. It interactively guides you through the entire workflow, from selecting a destination to deciding on a page name and confirming visibility settings.
# Basic Usage
Give instructions like the following in your MCP client to start the Smart Save workflow.
Save this content to GROWI
Summarize the research results and save them to the wiki
# Workflow
- Destination suggestions — AI analyzes the content and presents destination candidates such as the memo area or near related pages. You can also specify a path manually.
- Page name confirmation — A page name is suggested based on the content.
- Visibility confirmation — Select the visibility level appropriate for the destination.
- Save — After confirmation, the page is created.
