SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Claude Code plugins, enabling external tools and services to be accessed as MCP-backed capabilities. It covers server types, environment expansion, and secure patterns for multi-server orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP server configuration (stdio, SSE, HTTP, WebSocket)
  • Environment variable expansion with ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} and user vars
  • Naming conventions for MCP tools and auto-discovery patterns
  • Security considerations (OAuth and token-based approaches)
  • Real-world patterns for multi-server plugins (examples included)

Quick Start

Add an MCP server configuration at plugin root (e.g., .mcp.json or plugin.json mcpServers) and test with /mcp to verify server and tool availability.
