Configuration Example

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/path/to/documents"
      ]
    },
    "google-drive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-google-drive"]
    }
  }
}

Using MCP in Skills

# MCP tools become available to Claude automatically
# Example: filesystem MCP provides these tools:

# read_file(path) - Read file contents
# write_file(path, content) - Write to file
# list_directory(path) - List directory contents
# search_files(query) - Search for files

Best Practices

Only enable MCP servers you need (security)
Use official servers when available
Check server permissions before enabling
Combine multiple servers for complex workflows

by ZhanlinCui

×5

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
