SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

MCP integration connects Claude Code plugins to external services via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling standardized tool access, secure authentication, and scalable integrations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover and configure MCP servers (stdio, SSE, HTTP, ws) within a plugin.
  • Auto-discover tools and expose them to Claude Code commands and agents.
  • Securely handle authentication, environment variables, and lifecycle management for reliable tool integration.

Quick Start

Configure an MCP server at the plugin root and verify tool discovery with the /mcp command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Claude Code plugins to external services using MCP?

You connect Claude Code plugins to external services using MCP by configuring an MCP server at the plugin root and verifying tool discovery with the /mcp command. This enables standardized tool access and scalable integrations.

What MCP server types are supported for Claude Code plugin integration?

MCP integration for Claude Code plugins supports multiple server types, specifically stdio, SSE, HTTP, and ws. This allows developers to choose the appropriate protocol for their external service connection requirements.

How does tool discovery work when integrating external services via MCP?

Tool discovery works by automatically finding tools exposed by configured MCP servers and making them available to Claude Code commands and agents. You can verify discovered tools using the /mcp command after setup.

How do I handle authentication for MCP servers in Claude Code plugins?

Authentication handling for MCP servers is managed through structured configuration and best practices enforced by the integration. This includes secure environment variable management and lifecycle control for reliable tool access.

What is the best way to manage the lifecycle of an MCP server connection?

The best way to manage an MCP server connection lifecycle is through the structured configuration and tooling guidance provided by the MCP integration. This enforces secure, scalable tool access and reliable server lifecycle management.

Can I use this MCP integration for plugin development workflows requiring multiple server types?

Yes, this MCP integration specifically applies to plugin development workflows requiring multiple MCP server types. It enforces configuration, tool discovery, and authentication handling across stdio, SSE, HTTP, and ws connections.
