FAQPage Schema
How do I configure an MCP server in a Claude Code plugin?▼

You configure an MCP server in Claude Code plugins by defining external service connections and tool access within plugin configuration files, supporting stdio, SSE, HTTP, and WebSocket transport protocols.

What authentication patterns are recommended for MCP server integration?▼

Recommended authentication patterns for MCP server integration include OAuth, token-based authentication, and secure environment variable handling to protect credentials during Claude Code plugin workflows.

Can I use MCP-provided tools inside Claude Code agents and commands?▼

Yes, you can use MCP-provided tools inside Claude Code agents and commands by applying proper naming conventions, validation, and error handling to ensure reliable tool execution.

Does MCP integration support both HTTP and WebSocket connections?▼

MCP integration supports both HTTP and WebSocket connections, alongside stdio and SSE server types, allowing flexible protocol selection when setting up external service integrations for Claude Code plugins.

What's the best way to handle environment variables for MCP authentication?▼

The best way to handle environment variables for MCP authentication involves using secure configuration patterns that validate credentials and prevent exposing sensitive tokens directly within your plugin code.

Why is validation important when exposing MCP tools in plugin development?▼

Validation is important when exposing MCP tools in plugin development because it ensures correct input handling and prevents execution errors during agent workflows and command integrations.
