# MCP Integration
This skill creates and optimizes Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, including server configurations, authentication, and performance optimization.
## When to Use This Skill
- When creating new MCP server configurations
- When integrating services with MCP
- When optimizing MCP performance
- When implementing MCP authentication
- When structuring MCP servers
- When troubleshooting MCP integrations
## What This Skill Does
1. **MCP Configuration**: Creates MCP server configurations
2. **Integration Design**: Designs MCP integrations with services
3. **Authentication**: Implements secure authentication
4. **Performance**: Optimizes MCP performance
5. **Security**: Ensures MCP security best practices
6. **Testing**: Tests and validates MCP configurations
## How to Use
### Create MCP Integration
```
Create an MCP integration for GitHub API
```
```
Configure MCP server for database access
```
### Specific Tasks
```
Optimize this MCP server configuration for performance
```
## MCP Configuration
### Standard Format
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ServiceName MCP": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "package-name@latest"],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "required-env-var"
}
}
}
}
```
### Server Types
**API Integration MCPs:**
- REST API connectors
- 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**:
```markdown
## MCP Integration: GitHub
### Configuration
```json
{
"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
