Does Claude Code handle OAuth for MCP servers?

Yes, for SSE and HTTP server types, Claude Code can automatically manage OAuth flows, prompting the user for authorization during the first tool use.

Which MCP server types are supported?

This skill provides guidance for stdio (local processes), SSE (Server-Sent Events), HTTP (REST APIs), and WebSockets for real-time communication.

How are MCP tools named within Claude Code?

Tools are namespaced to prevent collisions, following the format: mcp__plugin_ _ __ .

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that allows AI models like Claude to securely connect with external data sources and tools through standardized server interfaces.

How do I secure my API keys in an MCP plugin?

It is best practice to use environment variable expansion (e.g., ${API_KEY}) in your configuration files rather than hardcoding credentials.

API 개발

Provides comprehensive patterns and guidance for connecting Claude Code plugins to external services using the Model Context Protocol.

소개

The MCP Integration skill empowers developers to extend Claude Code's capabilities by bridging the gap between the AI and external data sources, APIs, and tools. It provides standardized implementation patterns for various transport protocols—including stdio, SSE, HTTP, and WebSockets—allowing for seamless integration of 10+ tools from a single service. By leveraging this skill, developers can implement secure authentication flows like OAuth, manage server lifecycles automatically, and bundle MCP servers directly within their plugins for a portable and robust development experience.
