FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Claude to external services like GitHub or Notion?▼

Connect external services to Claude Code by adding MCP servers using HTTP or stdio transports. Configure authentication via OAuth 2.0 or API tokens, then reference external data directly in your chat with syntax like `@github:issue://123` to automate workflows across your tech stack.

What authentication methods does MCP server integration support?▼

MCP server integration supports OAuth 2.0 and API token authentication. Credentials are managed securely through environment variables, with scope selection at local, project, or user level to control access granularity and enhance security.

Can I use MCP servers to automate GitHub workflows from Claude?▼

Yes, connect a GitHub MCP server via HTTP transport and authenticate with OAuth. Once configured, you can create issues, review pull requests, and access file contents directly from Claude Code using predefined commands like `/mcp__github__review-pr`.

What transports does Claude Code support for MCP server connections?▼

Claude Code supports HTTP (remote), stdio (local), and SSE transports for MCP server connections. Each transport enables different integration patterns—HTTP for cloud services, stdio for local processes, and SSE for streaming real-time data.

Do I need special setup to test MCP server connections after adding them?▼

No special setup required. The Skill includes built-in server addition, authentication, and testing workflows. After configuring credentials and selecting scopes, you can validate the connection and begin using integrated resources immediately.

How do header management and environment variables work with MCP authentication?▼

Environment variables store credentials securely, while header management handles API authentication requirements. The Skill automates provisioning and validation of MCP connections, managing headers transparently so you configure once and authenticate across sessions.
