What problem does it solve?

Integrating external tools and services with Claude Code using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can be complex, involving server installation, transport types, scope management, and authentication. This skill simplifies MCP integration, enabling seamless external tool access.

Core Features & Use Cases

• MCP Server Management: Guides users through installing and managing MCP servers (HTTP, stdio transports), including adding, listing, and removing servers across local, project, and user scopes.
• Resource & Prompt Integration: Explains how to reference MCP resources using @ mentions and execute MCP prompts as slash commands (/mcp__server__promptname).
• Authentication & Configuration: Covers OAuth authentication for remote servers, environment variable expansion in .mcp.json, and managing MCP output limits.
• Plugin & Enterprise Integration: Provides guidance on configuring plugin-provided MCP servers and setting up enterprise-wide MCP policies via managed-mcp.json.
• Use Case: A team wants to integrate an internal documentation system as an MCP server to allow Claude to query it directly. This skill provides the steps to add an HTTP MCP server, configure its scope for team sharing, and manage authentication.
