MCP Servers

About Claude MCP Servers Plugins

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server plugins extend Claude's capabilities by connecting it to external tools, data sources, and services through Anthropic's open standard. MCP defines a common protocol for how Claude discovers and invokes capabilities, making these plugins highly composable and interoperable with any MCP-compatible host. Use them to give Claude access to file systems, custom APIs, proprietary databases, and internal tooling in a secure, structured way. Many MCP server plugins are open-source and self-hostable, giving teams full control over what Claude can access. As the MCP ecosystem grows, these plugins represent the most extensible and future-proof way to customize Claude for your workflows.
