SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables Claude to be extended with external services by implementing MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define Tools, Resources, and Prompts to connect Claude with APIs, databases, and services.
  • Create MCP servers in Python or TypeScript to integrate external capabilities into conversational workflows.
  • Use cases include adding new tools to Claude, reading resources, and embedding prompts for behavior customization.

Quick Start

  1. Create a new project directory and initialize an MCP server.
  2. Install the MCP SDK: Python: pip install mcp; TypeScript: npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.
  3. Run a sample server from the template and register it with Claude as instructed.
