 When setting up or debugging remote MCP servers (like Code Assist), it's critical to understand that modern implementations use **Streamable HTTP** endpoints (single-connection HTTP POST/GET streams) rather than the legacy two-connection SSE architectures. Keep the following client-specific formats in mind:
 - **MCP Spec** ([Docs](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports)): Official reference distinguishing `stdio`, `streamable-http`, and legacy `sse`.
 - **Gemini CLI** ([Docs](https://geminicli.com/docs/tools/mcp-server/)): Uses `--transport http` in the CLI. In `settings.json` and `gemini-extension.json`, it uniquely requires the `httpUrl` property instead of the standard `url` and `type` fields.
-- **Gemini Extensions** ([Docs](https://geminicli.com/docs/extensions/)): The recommended distribution mechanism is packaging the MCP server config alongside this very `GEMINI.md` and `SKILLS.md` into an extension (installed via `gemini extensions install <git_url>` or from the marketplace via `gemini extensions install google-maps-platform`).
+- **Gemini Extensions** ([Docs](https://geminicli.com/docs/extensions/)): The recommended distribution mechanism is packaging the MCP server config alongside this very `GEMINI.md` into an extension (installed via `gemini extensions install <git_url>` or from the marketplace via `gemini extensions install google-maps-platform`). Dedicated agent skills are hosted separately at [googlemaps/agent-skills](https://github.com/googlemaps/agent-skills).
 - **Android Studio** ([Docs](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/add-mcp-server)): Enabled via Settings > Tools > AI > MCP Servers. Expects an `httpUrl` property in its internal `mcp.json` exactly like Gemini CLI.
 - **Antigravity** ([Docs](https://antigravity.google)): Use the built-in MCP Store in the agent panel, or manually configure the streamable HTTP endpoint in `mcp_config.json`.
 - **Claude Code** ([Docs](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-code/overview)): Uses the `claude mcp add <name> http <url>` CLI command. Manual configs define the `mcpServers` object with `"type": "streamable-http"`.
