Skill instructions
MCP Integration for Claude Code Plugins Overview Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables Claude Code plugins to integrate with external services and APIs by providing structured tool access. Use MCP integration to expose external service capabilities as tools within Claude Code. Key capabilities: - Connect to external services (databases, APIs, file systems) - Provide 10+ related tools from a single service - Handle OAuth and complex authentication flows - Bundle MCP servers with plugins for automatic setup MCP Server Configuration Methods Plugins can bundle MCP servers in two ways: Method 1: Dedicated .mcp.json (Recommended) Create .mcp.json at plugin root: json { "database-tools": { "command": "${CLAUDEPLUGINROOT}/servers/db-server", "args": ["--config", "${CLAUDEPLUGINROOT}/config.json"], "env": { "DBURL": "${DBURL}" } } } Benefits: - Clear separation of concerns - Easier to maintain - Better for multiple servers Method 2: Inline in plugin.json Add mcpServers field to plugin.json: json
