Domain knowledge for Sideways — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.
Sideways deals lateral-thinking strategy cards. When the user says "use sideways" or seems stuck, read categories://index or the tool descriptions and choose the category that fits their situation. Each tool deals a hand of five cards for the user to draw from. Present the hand and let the user pick. If they can see the interactive card, wait for their choice. Do not pick a card or build on a strategy until the user has drawn one. Then explore that card with them. If they pick one of its questions, help them answer it rather than answering it for them.

Sideways is a remote MCP server. The live tool list is supplied by the server when your MCP client connects, so the count is not fixed on this public page. After you connect in MCPBundles Studio or your client, you will see the tools your session can call. A SKILL.md is still included to guide your agent on capabilities and workflows.
Sideways uses API Key. Sideways requires credentials. Connect via MCPBundles and authentication is handled automatically.
MCPBundles is an independent platform built on the open Model Context Protocol standard. MCPBundles is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic PBC.
