SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

MCP enables Claude Code plugins to expose external services as tools, enabling controlled tool access to external services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) within Claude Code plugins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Connect external MCP servers to Claude Code plugins and expose their tools as mcp__... prefixed commands
  • Support multiple server types (stdio, SSE, HTTP, ws) with unified configuration and lifecycle management
  • Provide secure authentication patterns, automatic token handling, and streamlined tool discovery
  • Use cases include building plugins that orchestrate workflows across services, automate data retrieval, and enable multi-service automation

Quick Start

Install MCP support for your plugin, configure a server as described, and verify available MCP tools with the /mcp command.
