What
MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are outside programs that give Claude Code extra tools and data. A skill is a set of instructions Claude Code can load for a particular task, written in a file named SKILL.md.
Claude Code can now read an entry of the form server:scheme:... that ends in /SKILL.md and split it into the server's name and the resource's address, its URI. This lets it tell that a resource offered by an MCP server is a skill.
Why
This is groundwork for MCP servers delivering skills to Claude Code as resources.
