Claude Managed Agents docs: how to wire Skills, tools and MCP servers to agents
cfregly · x · 2026-11-01
Reviewing the new Claude Managed Agents docs: they show how to attach Skills, tools and MCP servers to an agent (MCP servers declared at agent creation by name/URL, auth supplied per-session via vaults, keeping secrets out of reusable agent definitions), but there's no documented support for importing a complete plugin bundle. cfregly's take: Custom Skills reuse know-how but need upkeep, MCP connects tools but needs access and failure handling, agent definitions reuse worker settings but still need review — sometimes a script or direct call is enough.
