What problem does it solve?
MCP integration unifies how Claude Code plugins expose external tools and connect to diverse external services, simplifying plugin architecture and reducing integration friction.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Support for all MCP server types (stdio, SSE, HTTP, WebSocket) to cover local tools, cloud services, and real-time APIs.
- Standardized configuration patterns with .mcp.json at plugin root or mcpServers in plugin.json, improving maintainability.
- Clear lifecycle and discovery guidance for tools, authentication, and on-demand loading, enabling scalable orchestration across multiple servers.
- Use cases include building multi-server plugins, automating tool discovery via /mcp, and securely integrating external services within Claude Code plugins.
Quick Start
Install and configure MCP integration by placing a .mcp.json at your plugin root or adding an mcpServers entry to plugin.json, then run the /mcp command to verify available tools.
