SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the integration of external services and APIs into Claude Code plugins by providing a standardized protocol (MCP) for tool access, enabling richer functionality and seamless data exchange.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Connect External Services: Integrate databases, APIs, and file systems as tools within Claude Code.
  • Standardized Protocol: Uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) for consistent tool exposure.
  • Multiple Server Types: Supports stdio, SSE, HTTP, and WebSocket for diverse integration needs.
  • Use Case: A plugin needs to access a company's internal database to retrieve customer information. This Skill guides the developer on how to configure an MCP server (e.g., stdio) that exposes database query tools to Claude Code.

Quick Start

Use the MCP Integration skill to configure a new Model Context Protocol server for your plugin.
