Mcp Configuration Documented

The main instruction file must contain a heading referencing MCP, Server, or Tools. If the project uses MCP tools, documenting them in the main file ensures the agent discovers available servers at session start.

Antipatterns

  • Describing MCP servers in a scoped rule file but not in the main instruction file -- the check targets main-type files only, so documentation in .claude/rules/mcp.md does not satisfy it.
  • Using a heading like "## Integrations" to document MCP server setup -- the check requires the heading to contain "MCP", "Server", or "Tools".
  • Mentioning server names in a bullet list under a generic heading like "## Setup" -- the heading-match check scans headings, not list content.

Pass / Fail

Pass

## MCP Server Configuration

- filesystem: scoped to project root, read/write
- github: PR and issue operations on current repo

Fail

## Project Setup

Install dependencies with `npm install`.
The agent can use filesystem and github tools.

Limitations

Checks for a heading containing "MCP", "Server", or "Tools". Does not verify the section documents actual MCP server configuration.
