FAQ
What are MCP server plugins?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server plugins provide standardized tool integrations for Claude Code. Each MCP server exposes tools, resources, or prompts that Claude can use — from database access to file management to API calls.
How do MCP servers differ from regular plugins?
MCP servers follow Anthropic's open protocol for AI tool use, making them interoperable across different AI clients. Regular plugins may use proprietary formats specific to a single marketplace.
