What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that allows AI models like Claude to securely interact with external tools, databases, and services through a standardized interface.

Does this skill help with authentication?

Yes, it covers patterns for automated OAuth flows via SSE/HTTP and secure token management using environment variables for stdio and REST configurations.

How are MCP tools named in Claude Code?

To prevent conflicts, tools are automatically prefixed using a specific format: mcp__plugin_[plugin-name]_[server-name]__[tool-name].

Which server types are supported by this skill?

This skill provides guidance for four transport types: stdio (local child processes), SSE (Server-Sent Events for cloud services), HTTP (REST APIs), and WebSocket (real-time communication).

How do I test my MCP integration?

You can verify your setup by running the /mcp command in Claude Code to see all registered servers and using the --debug flag to inspect connection attempts and tool discovery logs.

API 开发

Provides comprehensive patterns and guidance for integrating Model Context Protocol servers into Claude Code plugins to expose external tools.

This skill offers a standardized framework for developers to connect Claude Code with external services using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides deep technical guidance on configuring various server types—including stdio, SSE, HTTP, and WebSockets—allowing Claude to interact with databases, file systems, and cloud APIs. By implementing these patterns, developers can ensure secure authentication, proper tool lifecycle management, and consistent naming conventions, enabling Claude to function as a powerful autonomous agent capable of orchestrating complex cross-service workflows.
