SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires claude mcp add, claude mcp list, npx.

What problem does it solve?

Setting up Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers can be confusing and time-consuming, especially when you need the right tools (web search, filesystem access, or GitHub integration) enabled and correctly credentialed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided MCP server selection: Uses a staged AskUserQuestion flow with small option sets to choose a recommended bundle, an individual popular server, or a custom server.
  • Credential and access setup: Collects required inputs like Exa API keys, GitHub Personal Access Tokens, and filesystem allowed directories when needed.
  • CLI-based configuration: Configures MCP servers via the claude mcp add command, then validates setup using claude mcp list.

Quick Start

Ask the AI: Configure an MCP setup using the recommended starter bundle (Context7 + Exa) with my Exa API key.

What do I need to set up an MCP server with GitHub integration and web search?▼

Setting up an MCP server with GitHub integration and web search requires providing a GitHub Personal Access Token and an Exa API key during the interactive configuration process.

Can I use custom MCP servers instead of the recommended starter bundle?▼

You can select a custom MCP server, an individual popular server, or a recommended starter bundle like Context7 plus Exa through a staged interactive selection flow.

What is the best way to enable filesystem access for Claude Code agents?▼

Enable filesystem access for Claude Code agents by configuring an MCP server and specifying the allowed directories during the guided setup to grant targeted file operations.

Why does my MCP server configuration require interactive stepwise selection?▼

Interactive stepwise selection ensures secure collection of API keys, tokens, and access paths while guiding you through choosing recommended bundles or specific servers for targeted workflows.

Does setting up MCP servers require npx to run the configuration commands?▼

Setting up MCP servers uses the `claude mcp add` and `claude mcp list` CLI commands, and npx is listed as a dependency for running the server configuration process.
