SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill should be used when the user asks to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP", "make an MCP integration", "wrap an API for Claude", "expose tools to Claude", "make an MCP app", or discusses building something with the Model Context Protocol. It is the entry point for MCP server development — it interrogates the user about their use case, determines the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio), picks a tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

The skill guides discovery, then recommends a deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, or local stdio), selects an appropriate tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills (e.g., remote HTTP scaffold, MCP app UI, or MCPB packaging) to implement the server.

Quick Start

Describe your MCP server use case, and the skill will scaffold deployment options and delegate to specialized skills.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an MCP server to expose tools to Claude?

To build an MCP server, this skill guides you from use-case discovery through deployment-model selection, determining an appropriate tool-design pattern and providing guardrails for OAuth, framework choice, and deployment path.

What is the difference between remote HTTP, MCPB, and local stdio for MCP servers?

Remote HTTP, MCPB, and local stdio are MCP server deployment models. The skill selects the appropriate model by interrogating your use case, then hands off to specialized skills for remote HTTP scaffolding, MCPB packaging, or local stdio implementation.

How do I wrap an API for Claude using the Model Context Protocol?

Wrapping an API for Claude involves creating an MCP integration. The skill scaffolds the workflow by interrogating your use case, selecting a tool-design pattern, and recommending the appropriate deployment model to expose your API tools effectively.

Do I need OAuth guardrails when creating an MCP server?

OAuth guardrails are provided when creating an MCP server. The skill specifies clear guardrails for OAuth, framework choice, and deployment path as part of the scaffolding workflow to ensure secure tool exposure.

Can I use this skill to scaffold an MCP app UI?

Yes, you can scaffold an MCP app UI. The skill guides discovery and recommends a deployment model, then hands off to specialized skills such as the MCP app UI skill to implement the server interface and tool integration.
