SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill guides developers through designing and building an MCP server that works seamlessly with Claude. It helps prioritize discovery, architectural decisions, and hand-offs before any scaffolding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interrogates use-case requirements (connects to cloud APIs, local processes, or a mix) and recommends the appropriate deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, or local stdio).
  • Defines a clear tool-design pattern and phased workflow to determine the best approach and hand off to specialized MCP skills.
  • Use case: when teams need to wrap a REST/GQL API or any Claude-compatible service, this skill anchors the architecture and ensures scalable collaboration.

Quick Start

Describe your MCP use-case (connects to what, who will use it, and needed actions) to get a recommended deployment model and tool pattern.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design an MCP server for Claude to wrap a REST API?

To design an MCP server for Claude, you define the connection type, audience, and action surface to generate a tailored server architecture. This skill evaluates your REST API use-case to recommend a deployment model and tooling pattern before scaffolding.

When should I use remote HTTP versus local stdio for an MCP server?

Choose remote HTTP versus local stdio for an MCP server by assessing whether your use-case connects to cloud APIs or local processes. This skill evaluates your connection type and audience to recommend the appropriate deployment model.

What is the best way to plan MCP server architecture before development?

The best way to plan MCP server architecture is to interrogate use-case requirements and assess deployment options first. This skill anchors architectural decisions, defines a clear tool-design pattern, and ensures scalable collaboration through phased hand-offs.

Can I use MCPB deployment for an MCP server connecting to cloud APIs?

MCPB deployment for an MCP server connecting to cloud APIs is evaluated based on your specific UI needs and action surface. This skill assesses these connection requirements to determine if MCPB, remote HTTP, or local stdio is the right fit.

How do I ensure scalability and security when building an MCP server?

To ensure scalability and security when building an MCP server, you need a tailored server design with proper hand-off steps. This skill provides guidance on framework choice and architectural patterns with built-in security and scalability considerations.
