FAQPage Schema
How do I build an MCP server to connect an LLM to my external API?

Build an MCP server using Python (FastMCP) or Node.js (TypeScript SDK) to define tools and APIs for LLM integration. This skill provides code examples and best practices for server setup, response formatting, and security.

What is the Model Context Protocol and when do I need an MCP server?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for integrating AI models with external services. You need an MCP server when exposing internal APIs, databases, or tools to LLMs through well-defined interfaces.

Can I implement MCP server tools using Python and TypeScript SDKs?

Yes, MCP server implementation is supported for both Python using FastMCP and Node.js using the TypeScript SDK. Both frameworks allow tool implementation with validation via Pydantic or Zod respectively.

How do I handle pagination and security in an MCP server implementation?

Handle pagination and security in an MCP server by following included best practices for naming conventions, response formats, and error handling. The skill guides structuring these conventions during the implementation phase.

What is the best way to structure a Node.js MCP server project?

Structure a Node.js MCP server project using the TypeScript SDK with Zod for tool validation. The skill offers an end-to-end development guide covering research, planning, implementation, and testing phases.
