MCP Client Agent Skill

Universal MCP client for connecting to any MCP server with progressive disclosure. Wraps MCP servers as skills to avoid context window bloat from tool definitions. Use when interacting with external MCP servers (Zapier, Sequential Thinking, GitHub, filesystem, etc.), listing available tools, or executing MCP tool calls. Triggers on requests like "connect to Zapier", "use MCP server", "list MCP tools", "call Zapier action", "use sequential thinking", or any MCP server interaction.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take walidboulanouar/mcp-client from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
