MCP Integration for Claude Code Plugins

Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables Claude Code plugins to expose external service capabilities as tools. Use this skill when adding MCP server configuration to a plugin, choosing transport types, or debugging MCP tool discovery.

For building FastMCP servers from scratch, use /fastmcp-creator. For writing CLI clients that communicate with MCP servers, use /fastmcp-client-cli. For terminal-based MCP server inspection and debugging, use /mcp-cli. For writing pytest test suites for FastMCP tools, use /fastmcp-python-tests. For general Python development of MCP server code, use /python3-development.
