This skill should be used when the user asks to "add MCP server", "integrate MCP", "configure MCP in plugin", "use .mcp.json", "set up Model Context Protocol", "connect external service", mentions "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} with MCP", or discusses MCP server types (SSE, stdio, HTTP, WebSocket). Provides comprehensive guidance for integrating Model Context Protocol servers into Claude Code plugins for external tool and service integration.

Excellent skill providing comprehensive MCP integration guidance. The description clearly triggers on relevant user requests, and the SKILL.md delivers extensive task knowledge covering all four server types, authentication patterns, configuration methods, security practices, and debugging. The structure is well-organized with logical sections, quick reference tables, and clear pointers to referenced files. The skill addresses a complex integration domain (MCP servers, OAuth, environment variables, tool naming conventions) that would require significant tokens for a CLI agent to discover and implement correctly, making it highly valuable. Minor room for improvement in making the extensive content slightly more scannable, but overall this is a production-ready, well-documented skill that meaningfully reduces agent complexity and cost.
