🧩 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. To separate Apps / Connectors, CLI Agents, and MCP Servers, see the CLI Agents Guide.

📚 Five safe starting points

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

Starting point	Learn first	Editorial rating
Official MCP Registry	Find published MCP Servers; still check the maintainer, permissions, and source	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
modelcontextprotocol/servers	See educational reference implementations; they are not a production recommendation	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
anthropics/skills	See how Agent Skill folders, instructions, and resources fit together	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
github/github-mcp-server	Learn OAuth, tool groups, and repository permissions from an official implementation	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
datawhalechina/hello-agents	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.

🔌 Common integration groups

The table below shows selected projects and official entry points directly. Start with the group you need; only the longer supplemental list is collapsed.

Group	Resource	What it helps with	Status / limits	Editorial rating
Notes / Knowledge Bases	Notion MCP	Search, create, and update Notion content	Official hosted MCP; user OAuth required and permissions follow the signed-in user	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	MarkusPfundstein/mcp-obsidian	Read and write an Obsidian vault	Community project; grant only the vault and write scope needed	⭐⭐⭐⭐
	Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM)	Summarize and ask questions about your own sources	Google service; availability varies by region, account, and feature	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	teng-lin/notebooklm-py	Operate Gemini Notebook through Python / CLI	Unofficial interface; Google changes may break it	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Office Documents	anthropics/skills	Read Agent Skill examples and document workflows	Official examples; built-in Skills vary by Claude surface	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	tfriedel/claude-office-skills	Extend Office document automation workflows	Community Skills; back up files and verify outputs	⭐⭐⭐⭐
	Google Workspace MCP	Connect Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, and Chat	Official Developer Preview; each product has a dedicated server, with OAuth 2.0 and user / organization governance	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dev Collaboration	GitHub MCP Server	Query and work with issues, PRs, and repositories	Official MCP; use OAuth or a least-privilege token and approve high-impact writes	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	Atlassian Rovo MCP	Search or update Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket	Official hosted remote MCP; OAuth 2.1 and signed-in user permissions apply; require human approval before writing real data	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	Linear MCP	Search and update Linear issues / projects	Official hosted remote MCP over Streamable HTTP; an official read-only option exists	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	Slack MCP	Search Slack, send messages, and manage canvases	Official MCP; it is not read-only, so confirm before sending or changing content	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Research Workflow	WenyuChiou/ai-research-skills	Turn research steps into reusable Skills	Community project; install only Skills relevant to the current task	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	WenyuChiou/research-hub	Connect Zotero, Obsidian, and research workflows	Community workspace; check data location, backups, and permissions	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
	WenyuChiou/zotero-skills	Organize Zotero data with Skills	Community Skill; back up the library before batch changes	⭐⭐⭐⭐
	WenyuChiou/codex-delegate	Delegate clearly scoped repetitive work to another Agent	Community tool; lock files, acceptance criteria, and stop conditions first	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chinese Ecosystem	leemysw/feishu-docx	Convert between Feishu (Lark) documents and Markdown	Community tool; confirm sharing and write permissions	⭐⭐⭐⭐
