Which server transport types are supported?

This skill covers four transport methods: local child processes (stdio), Server-Sent Events (SSE), REST APIs (HTTP), and WebSockets (ws).

Can I use environment variables in my MCP configuration?

Yes, all MCP configurations support environment variable expansion, including the ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable for portable path referencing.

How does Claude Code handle MCP tool naming?

Tools are automatically prefixed using the format: mcp__plugin_[plugin-name]_[server-name]__[tool-name] to ensure unique identification and prevent naming collisions.

How is authentication handled for cloud-based MCP servers?

Claude Code handles OAuth flows automatically for SSE servers, prompting the user in the browser on first use, while HTTP servers can use token-based authentication via headers.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that enables AI models to interact with external data sources and tools through a unified interface, allowing Claude to use complex tools from various services seamlessly.
