MCP Integration
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:
