Day 4 , MCP, Plugins & Integration

Today is about connecting Claude Code to the rest of your stack. MCP servers give it access to databases, APIs, and external tools. Plugins bundle extensions for distribution. GitHub integration automates PR reviews. CI/CD pipelines run Claude Code in your build system. And Chrome integration lets it test web apps directly.

What you'll have by the end of today

  • At least one MCP server connected and usable in Claude Code
  • A plugin installed or a custom command distributed
  • Claude Code reviewing PRs automatically from GitHub
  • A CI/CD pipeline running Claude Code in GitHub Actions
