External Tool Connection via MCP

I'll help you connect to external tools and services through Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling direct integration with GitHub, databases, APIs, and more.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS - tool/service name, connection details, or integration type

Tool Connection Overview

Connect Claude Code to:

• GitHub - Repositories, issues, PRs
• Databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
• APIs - REST, GraphQL, gRPC
• Cloud Services - AWS, GCP, Azure
• Project Tools - Jira, Linear, Slack

Token Optimization

Expected range: 300–800 tokens (initial), 50 tokens (already connected)

Caching: Caches tool connection state in .claude/cache/tools/connections.json for 7 days.

Early exit: Returns immediately if the requested tool is already connected.

Patterns used: Grep-before-Read, early exit, caching
