Claude Code Agents Glossary

Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding tool (typically used from the terminal). It can read and edit a codebase, run commands, and follow project-local instructions so you can ship features, fix bugs, or maintain docs with an AI agent in the loop.

Why it shows up next to Skills and MCP

Claude Code (and similar agent hosts) can:

  • Load Skills for consistent workflows (how to write content, how to add a tool to a directory, coding conventions).
  • Connect to MCP servers for external tools and data.
  • Keep project guidance in files such as AGENTS.md or skill docs so repeated work stays consistent.

That combination is why FlowCay tracks Skills and MCP as first-class resources for ecommerce agents — not only browser SaaS tools.

Practical takeaway

If you are building agent-ready ecommerce workflows:

  1. Use Skills to capture repeatable playbooks.
  2. Use MCP when the agent needs live connectors.
  3. Use hosts like Claude Code to actually run those playbooks against your repos and systems.
