FAQPage Schema
How do I convert MCP servers to Claude Skills to reduce context usage?▼

You can convert MCP servers to Claude Skills using progressive disclosure, which loads only metadata at startup and full instructions on first use. This dramatically reduces context usage when handling large tool definitions.

Can I batch convert all compatible MCP servers from my configuration file?▼

Yes, you can batch convert all compatible MCP servers from .mcp.json. The converter automatically outputs the generated skill packages to .claude/skills/mcp-skills/ and updates the registry.

What transports are supported when introspecting MCP servers for conversion?▼

The converter introspects MCP servers over stdio, http, and sse transports. It generates a minimal front-matter SKILL.md and wires a central executor for runtime calls.

What files are included in the generated skill package when converting an MCP server?▼

The generated skill package includes SKILL.md, executor.py, mcp-config.json, and package.json. These files are automatically produced under the .claude/skills/mcp-skills/ directory.

How do I list available MCP servers before converting them to skills?▼

You can list available MCP servers by running the converter with the --list command. This CLI-driven workflow allows you to see all servers before using --name for single conversion or --all for batch conversion.

Why does converting MCP servers into skills help with large tool definitions?▼

Converting MCP servers into skills helps because progressive disclosure loads only metadata at startup and executes tools externally. This prevents large tool definitions from consuming excessive context window space during your session.
