SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill assists developers in designing and building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers compatible with Claude integration, streamlining the process of creating custom tools and integrations for Claude.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP Server Design: Guides through the selection of the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio) and tool-design pattern.
  • Deployment Model: Recommends and explains deployment options, including remote HTTP, MCP app, MCPB, and local stdio.
  • Tool-Design Pattern: Suggests appropriate tool design patterns for different use cases (one tool per action, search + execute).
  • Framework Recommendation: Suggests using the official TypeScript SDK or FastMCP for Python development.
  • Auth Configuration: Offers guidance on authentication mechanisms like OAuth 2.0, CIMD, DCR, and token storage.
  • Testing and Publishing: Provides steps for testing the server with Claude and submitting it to the Anthropic Directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an MCP server for Claude integration?▼

To build an MCP server for Claude, you select a deployment model like remote HTTP or local stdio, design your tools, and configure authentication. This process is streamlined by using the official TypeScript SDK or FastMCP for Python development.

What deployment models are available for Model Context Protocol servers?▼

Model Context Protocol servers support several deployment models including remote HTTP, MCP app, MCPB, and local stdio. Choosing the right deployment model depends on your specific integration requirements and architecture.

How does authentication work when configuring an MCP server?▼

Authentication for an MCP server involves configuring mechanisms like OAuth 2.0, CIMD, or DCR, alongside secure token storage. Proper auth configuration ensures your custom tools and integrations securely connect with Claude.

What tool-design patterns should I use for Claude custom tools?▼

Tool-design patterns for Claude custom tools typically follow either a one tool per action approach or a search plus execute pattern. Selecting the appropriate tool design pattern depends on the specific use case of your integration.

Do I need the TypeScript SDK or FastMCP to develop an MCP server?▼

You do not strictly need them, but the official TypeScript SDK and FastMCP for Python are the recommended frameworks for MCP server development. They provide the necessary libraries to effectively implement the MCP protocol.

How do I test and publish an MCP server to the Anthropic Directory?▼

To test and publish an MCP server, you must first test the server integration directly with Claude, then submit it to the Anthropic Directory. This ensures your custom tools are validated and available for discovery.
