What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the challenge of designing MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers whose tools are clear, discoverable, reliable, and effective for real LLM agent workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Workflow-first MCP design: Balance API endpoint coverage with higher-level workflow tools so agents can complete tasks efficiently.
- Tool discoverability & schema clarity: Use strong naming conventions, concise tool descriptions, actionable error messages, and input/output schemas to improve tool selection and execution.
- End-to-end quality and evaluation guidance: Cover setup, implementation, testing with MCP Inspector, and creating stable evaluation suites that verify whether agents can succeed using only the MCP tools.
Quick Start
