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

You can build MCP servers using Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK) by defining well-structured tool schemas and implementing best practices for LLM-accessible APIs.

What is the Model Context Protocol used for in LLM integration?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is used to enable LLMs to interact seamlessly with external services and APIs. It provides a standardized way to expose internal company APIs and external tools to language models through structured server implementations.

Can I use TypeScript and Python to implement MCP tools?

Yes, you can implement MCP tools in both Python using FastMCP and Node/TypeScript using the MCP SDK. Both approaches guide you through tool design, schema definition, and creating structured responses for LLM interactions.

What are the best practices for MCP tool design and schema creation?

Best practices for MCP tool design include following proper naming conventions, creating well-defined schemas, and implementing structured responses. This ensures your MCP server effectively exposes APIs to LLMs through clear, accessible tool definitions.

How do I test and evaluate an MCP server for LLM interactions?

You test and evaluate an MCP server by creating robust evaluations that ensure your tools effectively serve LLM interactions. This involves validating that your server implementation correctly exposes APIs and returns properly structured responses to language models.

Do I need the Anthropic dependency to develop MCP servers?

Yes, developing MCP servers requires the Anthropic dependency alongside the MCP dependency. These provide the foundational SDK and protocol support needed to implement LLM-integrated servers that expose your APIs to language models.
