MCP servers and plugins solve overlapping problems in Claude Code. When to add a raw MCP server, when a plugin makes sense, and how to keep your context lean.
Plugins, skills, and MCP servers sit at different layers in Claude Code. What each is, how they nest, and a clear guide to which one you actually need.
The MCP servers worth adding to Claude Code for ops work: filesystem, GitHub, Postgres, SQLite, Docker, fetch, Sentry, and Playwright — with honest caveats.
The Claude Code plugins actually worth checking in 2026, with install commands, source links, and why GitHub, Playwright, LSP, security, review, docs, and workflow plugins make the cut.
Skills, MCP servers, and subagents solve different Claude Code problems. What each does, what it costs, and a clear decision guide for picking the right one.
The MCP servers actually worth installing in Claude Code in 2026 — GitHub, filesystem, Postgres, Playwright, fetch, Sentry, Slack, and memory. With add commands.
Add MCP servers to Claude Code on Windows and WSL: claude mcp add, scopes, .mcp.json, verifying with /mcp, and the Windows cmd /c npx wrapper gotcha explained.
Build a minimal MCP server from scratch with the official TypeScript SDK, expose one tool over stdio, connect it to Claude Code, and test it end to end.
A plain-English guide to the Model Context Protocol (MCP): the client/server model, tools vs resources vs prompts, transports, and why it matters for Claude Code.
