Any MCP server instrumented with the @posthog/mcp SDK emits a $mcp_tool_call event every time an agent invokes a tool. This skill is the front door for a user who knows they want to look at their MCP tool usage but hasn't picked a specific question. Offer the menu below, then route to the tool — or the focused skill — that answers what they choose.
Exploring Mcp Tool Usage is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/exploring-mcp-tool-usage/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user asks "how is my MCP doing?", "what should I look at?", "explore my tool calls", "who uses my MCP tools?", "what are agents doing with the MCP?", or pastes an MCP analytics URL without a specific question. Offers a menu of questions, each backed by a query tool, then hands off to the focused skill.
The Exploring Mcp Tool Usage Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
