SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the integration of external services and tools into Claude Code plugins by providing comprehensive guidance on configuring and utilizing the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP Server Configuration: Learn to configure various MCP server types (stdio, SSE, HTTP, WebSocket) using .mcp.json or plugin.json.
  • Tool Integration: Understand how to name, discover, and use MCP tools within Claude Code commands and agents, including security best practices for tool access.
  • Use Case: A developer wants to connect their plugin to a custom backend API. This Skill guides them through setting up an HTTP MCP server configuration, defining authentication headers, and making API calls as tools within their plugin.

Quick Start

Configure an MCP server for your plugin by adding a .mcp.json file to your plugin's root directory.
