VerifiedSolution Design & Architecture

A technical team is deciding whether to implement a new capability that generates regulatory filings from internal data as a Claude Skill or an MCP server. The capability requires a fixed authoring procedure with embedded examples, does not need to invoke live external systems, and must be portable across three Claude deployments: claude.ai, an internal API integration, and Claude Code.

Which factor most strongly supports implementing the capability as a Skill?

Explanation

Claude Skills are reusable packages of procedural knowledge, including workflows, instructions, resources, and examples, and custom Skills are supported in claude.ai, the Claude API, and Claude Code. MCP servers are designed to expose external systems such as data sources and tools. A fixed authoring workflow that has no live external-system calls is therefore best represented as a Skill.
