SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill lets you use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools from Claude Code without loading their schemas into your context window, saving tokens and keeping your conversations lean.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Progressive Discovery: Discover MCP tools incrementally (servers → tools → schemas).
  • Hydration on Demand: Hydrate full tool schemas only when needed.
  • Procedural Workflows: Build workflows that orchestrate multiple MCP tool calls outside the LLM context.
  • Auditability: Save artifacts for each run to maintain reproducibility and traceability.

Quick Start

Use the mcp-mode skill to connect to your MCP server on demand and run a multi-tool workflow that hydrates tools only when required.
