MCP Server Setup

I'll help you set up and configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for enhanced Claude Code capabilities.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS - server name, provider, or configuration type

MCP Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables Claude Code to connect to external tools and data sources:

  • Database access
  • API integrations
  • File system operations
  • Custom tools and services

Token Optimization

Expected range: 400–1,000 tokens (initial), 100 tokens (cache hit)

Caching: Caches MCP server registry in .claude/cache/mcp/servers.json for 7 days.

Early exit: Returns immediately if the requested MCP server is already configured and connected.

Patterns used: Grep-before-Read, early exit, caching
