Which transport type should I use for official cloud services?

Server-Sent Events (SSE) is recommended for hosted services as it supports automated OAuth flows and requires no local installation.

Can I use environment variables in my MCP configuration?

Yes, the skill supports expansion for both ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for portable paths and user-defined environment variables from the shell.

How are MCP tools named within Claude Code?

Tools are automatically prefixed using the format mcp__plugin_ _ __ to prevent name collisions.

What is the benefit of using .mcp.json over inline configuration?

Using a dedicated .mcp.json file ensures a clear separation of concerns, easier maintenance, and is better suited for plugins managing multiple MCP servers.

개발자 도구

Enables seamless integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into Claude Code plugins to extend AI capabilities with external tools and services.

소개

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for developers looking to expand Claude Code's functionality by connecting it to external APIs, databases, and services using the Model Context Protocol. It offers detailed implementation patterns for multiple transport types—including stdio, SSE, HTTP, and WebSockets—alongside best practices for authentication, tool naming conventions, and secure environment variable management. By utilizing this skill, developers can bundle complex toolsets directly within their plugins, allowing for sophisticated multi-agent workflows and autonomous service interactions.
