SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

MCP plugins often drift from best practices, creating maintenance risk and deployment issues. This skill provides structured validation to ensure MCP server plugins follow standard layout, configuration, and quality checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates directory layout for MCP plugin projects (presence of .mcp.json, plugin.json, and required sources).
  • Verifies metadata and configurations (plugin.json/.mcp.json) and aligns tool descriptions, Zod schemas, and stdio hygiene.
  • Assesses dist synchronization and test coverage to ensure reliable releases and easier audits.

Quick Start

Run the audit against an MCP plugin directory to generate a compliance report.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an MCP server plugin for best-practice compliance?▼

To audit an MCP server plugin, apply structured validation checks to the plugin directory to verify the layout, metadata, tool descriptions, and test coverage, then generate a report with severity levels and actionable recommendations.

What does MCP plugin validation check for in a project directory?▼

MCP plugin validation checks the directory layout for required files like .mcp.json and plugin.json, verifies configurations, aligns Zod schemas, checks stdio hygiene, and assesses dist synchronization to ensure reliable releases.

Can I use this audit to check Zod schemas and stdio hygiene in my MCP plugin?▼

Yes, the audit validates MCP server plugins by aligning tool descriptions with Zod schemas and checking stdio hygiene alongside directory layout, metadata configurations, dist synchronization, and test coverage.

Why does my MCP plugin deployment fail best-practice checks?▼

MCP plugin deployments fail best-practice checks due to drifting from standard layouts, misconfigured .mcp.json files, unsynchronized dist folders, or coverage gaps, which the audit identifies through structured static checks.

Does the MCP plugin audit generate a report with severity levels and recommendations?▼

Yes, the audit generates a compliance report detailing severity levels, coverage gaps, and actionable recommendations to fix maintenance risks and deployment issues in MCP server plugins.

What is the best way to ensure MCP plugin metadata and configurations are correct?▼

The best way to ensure correct MCP plugin metadata is to run an audit that verifies plugin.json and .mcp.json formats, enforcing structured static checks to align configurations with standard best practices.
