## 🧩 Three core terms: MCP, Skill, and Plugin

**MCP (Model Context Protocol)**: an open protocol that lets AI applications connect to external data and tools through a shared method. What it can do still depends on the server, account permissions, and user approval.

**Skill**: a reusable package of instructions that may also include scripts, templates, and references. Different products place and load Skills differently.

**Plugin**: an installable package provided by a host. It may bundle Skills, commands, hooks, or MCP configuration; Plugins are not part of the MCP specification.

For a hands-on example, go to [Stage 5](stages/05-claude-code-ecosystem.en.md). To separate Apps / Connectors, CLI Agents, and MCP Servers, see the [CLI Agents Guide](resources/cli-agents-guide.en.md).

## 📚 Five safe starting points

Start with official entry points or complete learning materials, then evaluate community projects. These are editorial ratings, not GitHub stars.

<div align="center" markdown="1" class="reader-table-picker reader-table-picker--source" role="region" tabindex="0" aria-label="Choose resources by need">

| Starting point | Learn first |
|:---|:---|
| [Official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/)<br>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Find published MCP Servers; still check the maintainer, permissions, and source |
| [servers](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers)<br>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | See educational reference implementations; they are not a production recommendation |
| [skills](https://github.com/anthropics/skills)<br>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | See how Agent Skill folders, instructions, and resources fit together |
| [github-mcp-server](https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server)<br>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Learn OAuth, tool groups, and repository permissions from an official implementation |
| [hello-agents](https://github.com/datawhalechina/hello-agents)<br>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Learn Agent principles and implementation through a Chinese-language course |

> ⚠️ **Start with fewer keys**: an MCP Server may read, create, send, or delete real data. Begin with read-only access, least privilege, and a test workspace; keep **Human Approval** before write, send, or delete actions.
