Hey! 👋 Here's what I promised you:
The full guide to MCP servers — MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the protocol that lets Claude Code connect to any API or tool outside its own system: a database, Stripe, a model like Banana / VEO, or any service you work with. You define the functions you want, give it your tokens, and Claude starts using them directly.

- Want a tool that already exists? Search the repo of ready-made servers (Stripe, GitHub, Postgres, and many others) and add it to Claude Code with a single command:
claude mcp add <smiya> -- npx -y <package-dyal-server>
- Want your own custom MCP server? Tell Claude Code to build it for you with the official SDK:
bni liya custom MCP server b TypeScript b @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: kay-connecta m3a l-API dyali w kay-exposi had les fonctions: <wsef l-API w les fonctions li bghiti>
- Add the service's API tokens / private keys to the server's config.
- Reopen Claude Code — it'll find the new tools available, like Stripe for example: it fetches your data and you work with it normally. ⚡
