Claude Code Teases Skills Over MCP
A developer’s inspection reportedly found dormant Skills-over-MCP support inside Claude Code, though the capability is not publicly enabled. The implementation would align with finalized MCP SEP-2640, which defines on-demand skill discovery and retrieval through MCP resources. [SEP-2640](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/seps/2640-skills-extension)
// ANALYSIS
This is a meaningful roadmap signal, not a shipped feature: Anthropic appears to be exploring how remote, progressively loaded skills could complement Claude Code’s local skill system.
- –SEP-2640 standardizes `skills/list`, `skills/get`, and resource-backed `SKILL.md` delivery.
- –Claude Code’s public feature request remains open, reinforcing that support is not generally available yet. [Feature request](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/106550)
- –On-demand loading could reduce context bloat and let teams distribute versioned skills alongside MCP servers.
- –Remote skills also expand the prompt-injection and supply-chain attack surface, making origin tracking, approval gates, and digest verification essential.
- –If enabled, this would blur the line between “tool access” and “workflow expertise” in AI coding agents.
