SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill maps user tasks and intents to the correct Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers so Claude can access external systems like databases, code hosts, browsers, and productivity tools without guesswork or wasted installs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP catalog & advisor: Curated 30-server catalog with prioritized tiers and install guidance for foundation, development, data, cloud, and productivity servers.
  • Task → MCP routing: Given a task description, returns the minimal set of MCPs required and supporting servers (for example: PR review → github + git; DB query → postgres/supabase).
  • Practical install guidance: Provides exact install commands, scope recommendations, verification commands, and checks existing ~/.claude and .mcp.json state to avoid redundant installs.
  • Governance & safety rules: Advises on OAuth/auth needs, flags paid or sensitive installs, and follows explicit rules about not installing paid-auth MCPs without consent.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to set up MCP for GitHub and provide the exact install command and verification steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I route a task to the right MCP server?

To route a task to the right MCP server, you map the user-described task intent to the optimal MCP server for the specific external system. This returns the minimal set of required servers, such as pairing GitHub with Git for PR reviews.

What is MCP server routing and when do I need it?

MCP server routing is the process of mapping tasks to correct Model Context Protocol servers so Claude can access external systems. You need it to connect to databases, code hosts, or browsers without guesswork or redundant installations.

How do I install and verify MCP servers locally?

To install and verify MCP servers locally, you use exact install commands and check existing ~/.claude.json and ~/.mcp.json state to avoid redundancy. The process includes scope recommendations and verification commands to confirm successful setup.

Does MCP routing support database queries and browser automation?

Yes, MCP routing supports database queries and browser automation by mapping developer and operations tasks to appropriate servers. It routes database queries to servers like Postgres or Supabase and handles browser automation and scraping scenarios.

Do I need OAuth or special auth for certain MCP servers?

Yes, you need OAuth or special auth for certain MCP servers. Governance and safety rules advise on authentication needs and explicitly flag paid or sensitive installs, requiring your consent before installing any paid-auth MCPs.

What are the limitations of installing MCP servers?

Limitations of installing MCP servers include potential redundant installs if existing ~/.mcp.json state is not checked beforehand. Additionally, paid or sensitive MCPs requiring authentication are flagged and will not be installed without explicit consent.
