External Tool Connection via MCP
I'll help you connect to external tools and services through Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling direct integration with GitHub, databases, APIs, and more.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS - tool/service name, connection details, or integration type
Tool Connection Overview
Connect Claude Code to:
- GitHub - Repositories, issues, PRs
- Databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
- APIs - REST, GraphQL, gRPC
- Cloud Services - AWS, GCP, Azure
- Project Tools - Jira, Linear, Slack
Token Optimization
Expected range: 300–800 tokens (initial), 50 tokens (already connected)
Caching: Caches tool connection state in .claude/cache/tools/connections.json for 7 days.
Early exit: Returns immediately if the requested tool is already connected.
Patterns used: Grep-before-Read, early exit, caching
