**MCP** gives Claude purpose-built tools for an external system, with the connection and authentication handled by the server. **Skills** give Claude knowledge about how to use those tools effectively, plus workflows you can trigger with `/<name>`. A skill might include your team's database schema and query patterns, or a `/post-to-slack` workflow with your team's message formatting rules. - - Example: An MCP server connects Claude to your database. A skill teaches Claude your data model, common query patterns, and which tables to use for different tasks. </Tab> <Tab title="Hook vs Skill">
