SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps plugin developers connect Claude Code to external services through Model Context Protocol so tools, databases, APIs, and hosted services can be used inside a plugin instead of being handled manually.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP Server Setup: Configure stdio, SSE, HTTP, or WebSocket servers for local or hosted integrations.
  • Authentication Guidance: Handle OAuth, bearer tokens, API keys, and environment-variable based credentials safely.
  • Tool Workflow Design: Pre-allow the right MCP tools in commands, structure multi-server plugins, and manage tool naming conventions.
  • Use Case: A plugin developer can connect an issue tracker, database, and cloud API so Claude can create records, query data, and generate reports from one workflow.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to set up MCP integration for your plugin by choosing the server type, adding the connection details, and documenting any required environment variables.

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

Setting up an MCP server involves choosing stdio, SSE, HTTP, or WebSocket transport, adding connection details, and defining environment variables. This exposes external services as callable tools inside your Claude Code plugin.

Can I use OAuth for authentication when connecting Claude plugins to external APIs?

Yes, Claude plugins support OAuth for connecting to external APIs. The integration also handles bearer tokens, API keys, and environment-variable credentials to ensure secure token-based authentication across services.

What is the best way to manage multiple MCP servers in a single Claude Code workflow?

Managing multiple MCP servers requires structuring a multi-server plugin with consistent tool naming conventions. Pre-approving the right MCP tools in commands ensures Claude can orchestrate databases, issue trackers, and cloud APIs from one workflow.

Does Claude Code support WebSocket integrations for MCP plugin development?

Yes, Claude Code supports WebSocket integrations for MCP plugin development. Developers can configure MCP servers using stdio, SSE, HTTP, or WebSocket transports to connect both local and hosted external services.

How do I handle environment variables and portable paths in MCP integrations?

Handling environment variables in MCP integrations requires portable plugin-root path expansion. You safely store credentials as environment variables and implement reliable error handling for connection and authentication failures.

Why does my MCP server connection fail during authentication?

MCP server connections fail during authentication due to incorrect OAuth tokens or missing environment variables. Implementing reliable error handling for connection and authentication failures helps diagnose and resolve these token-based issues.
