MCP Configuration

Standard Format

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ServiceName MCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "package-name@latest"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "required-env-var"
      }
    }
  }
}

Server Types

API Integration MCPs:

• GraphQL integrations
• Database connectors
• Cloud service integrations

Development Tool MCPs:

• Code analysis integrations
• Build system connectors
• Testing framework integrations
• CI/CD pipeline connectors

Examples

Example 1: GitHub MCP

Input: Create GitHub MCP integration

Output:

## MCP Integration: GitHub

### Configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "GitHub Integration MCP": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github-mcp@latest"], "env": { "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here", "GITHUB_API_URL": "https://api.github.com" } } } }

### Usage

Install with: `npx claude-code-templates@latest --mcp="github-integration"`

Best Practices

MCP Design

1. Security: Use environment variables for secrets 2. Performance: Implement connection pooling 3. Error Handling: Robust error handling and retries 4. Validation: Validate all inputs and responses 5. Documentation: Document required environment variables
