What Mcp is

Mcp is a plugin published in the NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit repository on GitHub, which has about 1.7k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Hand-crafted Claude Code Skills focused on improving agent results quality. Compatible with OpenCode, Cursor, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, and others. Includes CodeRabbit open-source alternative.”

A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.

Installing Mcp adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.

How to install Mcp

Claude Code

Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit
Install the plugin: claude plugin install mcp@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.

Claude Cowork

Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
Enter NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
Find Mcp in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.

Inside the source file

Commands for integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with your AI-powered development workflow. Set up well-known MCP servers and create custom servers to extend LLM capabilities.

Plugin Target

Simplify integration of MCP servers into your development workflow.

Overview

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) plugin helps you integrate MCP servers into your development environment. MCP is an open protocol that enables AI assistants to interact with external services, databases, and tools through a standardized interface.

This plugin provides five key commands:

Context7 MCP Setup - Access up-to-date documentation for any library or framework
Serena MCP Setup - Enable semantic code analysis and symbol-based operations
Codemap CLI Setup - Enable intelligent codebase visualization and navigation
arXiv/Paper Search MCP Setup - Search and download academic papers from multiple sources
Build MCP - Create custom MCP servers for any service or API

Each setup command supports configuration at multiple levels:

Project level (shared) - Configuration tracked in git, shared with team via ./CLAUDE.md
Project level (personal) - Local configuration in ./CLAUDE.local.md, not tracked in git
User level (global) - Configuration in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, applies to all projects

The command guides through the MCP setup process and updates the appropriate CLAUDE.md file based on your choice to ensure consistent MCP usage.

Quick Start

Open Claude Code in your project directory and run the following commands to setup MCP servers.

# Install the plugin
/plugin install mcp@NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit

# Set up documentation access for your project
> /mcp:setup-context7-mcp react, typescript, prisma

# Enable semantic code analysis
> /mcp:setup-serena-mcp

# Set up codebase visualization
> /mcp:setup-codemap-cli

Usage Examples

Commands

/mcp:setup-context7-mcp - Set up Context7 MCP server to provide real-time access to library and framework documentation, eliminating hallucinations from outdated training data.
/mcp:setup-serena-mcp - Set up Serena MCP server for semantic code retrieval and symbol-based editing capabilities, enabling precise code manipulation in large codebases.
/mcp:setup-codemap-cli - Set up Codemap CLI for intelligent codebase visualization and navigation, providing tree views, dependency analysis, and change tracking.
/mcp:setup-arxiv-mcp - Set up the Paper Search MCP server via Docker MCP for searching and downloading academic papers from multiple sources including arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and more.
/mcp:build-mcp - Comprehensive guide for creating high-quality MCP servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools.

Before you install

Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
