MCP, Skills & Hooks — Agent Infrastructure
The core system. Connect Claude to your APIs (MCP), teach it methodologies (Skills), automate guardrails (Hooks). Build a custom agent ecosystem.
What you'll be able to do
Create an MCP server to connect Claude to any API
Write Skills that provide specialized capabilities
Configure Hooks for linting, security, formatting
Build a complete plugin installable by a team
Architect a connected multi-agent ecosystem
Program
MCP — Connecting Claude to the real world
- › MCP architecture: protocol, transports (stdio, HTTP/SSE), tools, resources
- › Writing an MCP server in TypeScript (and Python)
- › Connecting Slack, Google Sheets, an internal API
- › .mcp.json: configure and version your connections
Skills — Teaching an agent how to work
- › Anatomy of a Skill: SKILL.md (Markdown + YAML frontmatter), triggers, auto-invocation
- › Workshop: write a business Skill (audit, report, onboarding)
- › Skills vs CLAUDE.md: when to use what
- › Sharing Skills: plugins, repos, marketplaces
Hooks — Automating guardrails
- › Pre/post hooks: automatic shell commands
- › Security: block access, validate actions
- › Quality: linting, formatting, auto tests
- › Python/TypeScript hooks with Agent SDK vs shell hooks
Putting it all together — Plugins and ecosystem
- › Create a plugin: Skills + Hooks + MCP packaged
- › Workshop: build your company's plugin
- › claude plugin install, private marketplaces, GitHub distribution
- › Architecture for a 10-50 person team
Advanced cases and production
- › In-process MCP with Agent SDK: custom Python/TS tools
- › Advanced security: sandboxing, permissions, audit logs
- › Agent monitoring in production
- › Interoperability: Codex, Gemini CLI, third-party tools
