Can I bundle an MCP server directly within my plugin?

Yes, you can bundle MCP servers by defining them in a dedicated .mcp.json file or inline within your plugin.json configuration using the ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path.

Which MCP server types are supported?

Claude Code supports stdio (local child processes), SSE (Server-Sent Events for hosted services), HTTP (REST APIs), and WebSocket connections for real-time data.

How does this skill handle authentication for external services?

It provides patterns for automatic OAuth flows for hosted cloud services and environment variable expansion for secure token-based authentication.

How do I access MCP tools within my plugin commands?

Tools are automatically prefixed with a plugin-specific namespace and can be enabled by adding them to the allowed-tools section of your command's frontmatter.

What is MCP in the context of Claude Code?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows Claude Code to connect with external data sources and tools through structured, secure interfaces.
