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.

開発者ツール

Integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into Claude Code plugins to extend tool capabilities and connect to external services.

概要

This skill provides comprehensive architectural guidance and implementation patterns for connecting Claude Code to external services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables developers to bundle local processes, cloud-based SSE servers, or REST APIs directly into their plugins, allowing Claude to interact securely with databases, file systems, and third-party platforms like GitHub or Asana using standardized tool interfaces and automated authentication flows.
