20 To build with Claude's help, install the official [`mcp-server-dev` plugin](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/tree/main/plugins/mcp-server-dev) in Claude Code. It walks you through building, testing, and packaging an MCP server interactively, using these docs as its reference.
