Use this skill when no pre-built connector fits and processes need a reusable integration — a proprietary or internal API, custom auth, a shared retry policy, or an inbound webhook, subscription, or poller that starts processes. Builds custom Camunda 8 connectors as a JSON template on a protocol connector or in Java with the Connectors SDK.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Camunda Connectors Development

Build a custom Camunda 8 connector when the OOTB catalog doesn't cover the integration. Two distinct paths share the same element-template surface but differ in whether you write Java.

## Prerequisites

- Camunda 8.8+ cluster reachable for testing (local c8run, SaaS, or Self-Managed — see **camunda-c8ctl**)
- Path A: none beyond the cluster — the JSON template is hand-authored, using `c8ctl element-template get <id>` to fetch the base OOTB template as a starting point
- Path B: Java 17+, Maven 3.8+ (or Gradle equivalent), and a JVM hosting option for the resulting connector JAR — see **camunda-development** for installing the JDK / Maven toolchain locally

## Cross-References

- **camunda-development**: Use first to decide whether building a connector is the right shape at all (vs. an OOTB connector or a job worker)
- **camunda-connectors**: Use for discovering and applying OOTB connectors — the catalog you're extending here
- **camunda-job-workers**: Use when the integration logic belongs in application code rather than a reusable connector (Path C in the decision matrix; workers are outbound-only)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add camunda/skills/camunda-connectors-development@sha256:2a337c0cba7de22a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.8802b5d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
