What it does and how to use it
A skill that teaches Claude Code to do development tasks well. It is packaged knowledge the model uses whenever it is relevant.
- Install the skill (command above).
- In Claude Code, describe what you need - the skill turns on by itself when the context fits.
- No commands to memorize: you talk in plain language and the skill does the rest.
Install (Claude Code)

# Tools
> Expose functions as executable capabilities for your MCP client.
Tools are the core building blocks that allow your LLM to interact with external systems, execute code, and access data that isn't in its training data. In FastMCP, tools are Python functions exposed to LLMs through the MCP protocol.
Tools in FastMCP transform regular Python functions into capabilities that LLMs can invoke during conversations. When an LLM decides to use a tool:
1. It sends a request with parameters based on the tool's schema.
2. FastMCP validates these parameters against your function's signature.
