How do I add a local database to Claude Code?

You can use the stdio transport by running 'claude mcp add --transport stdio' followed by your database server command and connection string.

How does authentication work for MCP servers?

The skill supports Bearer tokens via headers and provides an interactive OAuth 2.0 flow for services that require browser-based login.

Which transport protocol is best for cloud services?

HTTP is the recommended and most widely supported transport protocol for connecting to cloud-based services and remote APIs.

Can I share MCP configurations with my team?

Yes, by using the 'project' scope, configurations are saved to a .mcp.json file in your project root which can be committed to Git.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open-source standard that allows AI models like Claude to safely connect with external tools, data sources, and third-party APIs.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Configures and manages Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to connect Claude Code with external tools, APIs, and databases.

Acerca de

The MCP Setup skill empowers developers to extend Claude Code's capabilities by integrating it with external services and local resources via the Model Context Protocol. It facilitates seamless connections to essential platforms like GitHub, Notion, and Jira, as well as direct access to local databases and filesystems. By supporting multiple transport protocols—including HTTP for remote services and stdio for local processes—this skill allows Claude to act as a more capable agent that can query data, manage issues, and interact with your entire development ecosystem directly from the CLI.
