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.
