Description
'[AI & Tools] Utilize tools of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers'

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary

Goal: Utilize MCP (Model Context Protocol) server tools to extend Claude's capabilities.

Workflow:

  1. Discover -- List available MCP tools and their capabilities
  2. Select -- Choose appropriate tool for the task
  3. Execute -- Run MCP tool with correct parameters

Key Rules:

  • Check available MCP servers before attempting to use tools
  • Use MCP tools for capabilities not available in built-in tools
  • Handle MCP tool errors gracefully with fallback approaches

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

Execute MCP operations via Gemini CLI to preserve context budget.

Execution Steps

  1. Execute task via Gemini CLI (using stdin pipe for MCP support):

    # IMPORTANT: Use stdin piping, NOT -p flag (deprecated, skips MCP init)
echo "$ARGUMENTS. Return JSON only per GEMINI.md instructions." | gemini -y -m gemini-2.5-flash

  2. Fallback to general-purpose subagent (if Gemini CLI unavailable):

    • Use general-purpose subagent to discover and execute tools
    • If the subagent got issues with the scripts of mcp-management skill, use mcp-builder skill to fix them
    • DO NOT create ANY new scripts
    • The subagent can only use MCP tools if any to achieve this task
    • If the subagent can't find any suitable tools, just report it back to the main agent to move on to the next step

Important Notes

  • MUST ATTENTION use stdin piping - the deprecated -p flag skips MCP initialization
  • Use -y flag to auto-approve tool execution
  • GEMINI.md auto-loaded: Gemini CLI automatically loads GEMINI.md from project root, enforcing JSON-only response format
  • Parseable output: Responses are structured JSON: {"server":"name","tool":"name","success":true,"result":<data>,"error":null}

Anti-Pattern (DO NOT USE)

# BROKEN - deprecated -p flag skips MCP server connections!
gemini -y -m gemini-2.5-flash -p "..."

Closing Reminders

  • IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using TaskCreate BEFORE starting
  • IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
  • IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite file:line evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
  • IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality
