think of it like a kitchen MCP is the equipment — the knives, the stove, the fridge. Connects Claude to the tools it needs to actually do things. Skills are the recipes and technique — how you hold the knife, when to deglaze, why you never crowd the pan. You can have a fully equipped kitchen and still cook terrible food. Skills are what make it a restaurant worth eating at.
