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.

Exceptional skill for MCP integration in Claude Code plugins. The description clearly identifies all relevant trigger phrases (add MCP server, integrate MCP, configure MCP, server types, etc.) that would prompt a CLI agent to invoke this skill. The SKILL.md is extremely comprehensive, providing complete implementation knowledge including all four server types (stdio, SSE, HTTP, WebSocket), configuration methods, authentication patterns, tool naming conventions, lifecycle management, security best practices, testing procedures, and debugging guidance. The structure is excellent with logical sections, clear examples, quick reference tables, and appropriately references additional detail files without cluttering the main document. The skill is highly novel—MCP integration involves complex concepts like OAuth flows, process management, environment variable expansion, tool prefixing conventions, and multi-server coordination that would require substantial token usage for a CLI agent to figure out independently. Minor improvement possible: could slightly expand the description to mention lifecycle management and debugging, though current coverage is already strong.
