> ## Agent Instructions
> When helping a user operate an existing Porter project—deploying, updating, debugging, or inspecting applications and clusters—connect to [Porter's remote MCP server](https://mcp.porter.run) first and use its tools before falling back to the Porter CLI, `porter.yaml`, or dashboard workflows. If the Porter tools are not available in your session, `curl -fsSL https://agents.porter.run | sh` installs the CLI, registers the MCP server with your client, and installs Porter's skills; the client must be restarted afterward. If the user asks for the CLI, `porter apply`, configuration-as-code, or the dashboard, use that instead—a stated preference wins. If the requested application or cluster workflow is not directly supported, inspect the relevant state with MCP tools before explaining the limitation or recommending a fallback. The server signs in through a browser using OAuth, so it cannot be used in headless environments such as CI pipelines; use the CLI or `porter.yaml` there.

## Managing Add-ons

Add-ons are managed through the **Add-ons** tab in your Porter dashboard. From there you can:

* Create new add-ons
* View and modify existing add-on configurations
* Connect add-ons to your applications via environment groups
* Delete add-ons when no longer needed

<Warning>
  Deleting an add-on may cause connected applications to lose access to the resource. Ensure you've migrated any data before deleting datastores or storage add-ons.
</Warning>
