⚠️ DEPRECATED: MCP Configuration Skill

STATUS: This skill is deprecated and should not be used.

Why This Skill Was Deprecated

During the MCP cleanup (December 2025), we simplified the MCP architecture from 6 custom servers to 3 production-ready servers:

1. flash-sidekick - Dual-engine Gemini wrapper (Flash 2.5 Lite + Pro 2.5)
2. playwright - Browser automation testing
3. docker - Container management

Servers That Were Removed

• ❌ ConfigurationRegistry (configuration-server.py) - Moved to _legacy_archive/
• ❌ CodebaseDocumentation (documentation-server.py) - Moved to _legacy_archive/
• ❌ GenKitFlowRegistry - Never implemented
• ❌ APIContractValidator - Never implemented
• ❌ DesignSystemServer - Never implemented
• ❌ FirestoreDataAccessServer - Never implemented

Reasons for Removal

1. Reduced Complexity: Custom servers added maintenance overhead
2. Caching Issues: Led to stale configuration states
3. npm exec Errors: Caused persistent CI/CD failures
4. Redundancy: File system tools provide the same functionality
5. Single Source of Truth: Direct file access is more reliable

Migration Guide

Old Approach (Using This Deprecated Skill)

method: list_scripts
Returns: Cached list of 84 scripts
Risk: Cache may be stale

New Approach (Recommended)

# List all scripts directly
find scripts/ backend/scripts/ .claude/scripts/ -type f -name "*.sh" -o -name "*.py"

# Or use grep_search/find_by_name tools
grep_search for specific scripts
find_by_name for pattern matching

Environment Configuration

Instead of using the MCP server:

# Development
cat .env.development

# Staging  
cat .env.staging

# Production
cat .env.production

# Validation
./scripts/validate-env.sh

What To Use Instead

Current MCP Ecosystem

For actual MCP capabilities, use:

1. flash-sidekick MCP - mcp_flash-sidekick_* tools

   • consult_pro - Deep reasoning with Pro 2.5
   • quick_summarize - Fast summarization with Flash Lite
   • generate_idf - Python IDF generation

2. GitHub MCP - mcp_github_* tools

   • Repository management
   • PR/issue tracking
   • Code search

3. Playwright MCP - Browser automation (via browser_subagent)

4. Docker MCP - Container operations
