SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configure MCP server connections for a plugin by generating a validated .mcp.json file that wires filesystem access, database connections, and API integrations, and helps troubleshoot server configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scan skill requirements to detect MCP tool needs and capability hints.
  • Map each requirement to a known MCP server package and assemble a coherent configuration.
  • Generate or merge a plugin root .mcp.json (preserving existing entries) and ensure it aligns with .claude-plugin/plugin.json.
  • Validate the resulting MCP configuration and review server choices and environment variable requirements with the user.

Quick Start

Create or update the plugin's .mcp.json by running the MCP wiring workflow.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-configure an MCP server connection for a plugin?▼

Auto-configuring MCP server connections involves scanning plugin requirements to detect tool needs, mapping them to known MCP server packages, and generating a validated .mcp.json file in the plugin root.

What is a .mcp.json file and when do I need it for plugin servers?▼

A .mcp.json file wires MCP server connections for plugin servers, enabling filesystem access, database connections, and API integrations. You need it when your plugin requires automated MCP server setup and validated configuration.

Can I merge new MCP server configs into an existing .mcp.json without losing data?▼

Yes, you can merge new MCP server configs into an existing .mcp.json without losing data. The process preserves existing entries while ensuring the updated configuration aligns with the .claude-plugin/plugin.json file.

How do I validate an MCP configuration and review server environment variables?▼

You validate an MCP configuration by generating the .mcp.json file and running automated checks for errors. The system then reviews server choices and environment variable requirements with you to ensure correct setup.

What are the limitations of automating MCP server wiring with a config file?▼

Automating MCP server wiring with a config file relies on scanning requirements to match known MCP server packages. It is limited to recognized capability hints and requires user review to confirm environment variable requirements.
