FAQPage Schema
How do I build an MCP server that connects LLMs to external services?

To build an MCP server, follow a guided workflow covering planning, implementation, and testing, using language-specific SDKs for TypeScript or Python to expose external service tools to LLMs.

What is the best way to design tools for an MCP server?

The best way to design MCP server tools is to use typed input validation with Zod or Pydantic, enforce structured tool outputs, and implement robust error handling to ensure reliable LLM interactions.

Does MCP server development support both Python and TypeScript?

Yes, MCP server development supports both Python and TypeScript, providing language-specific guidance for using FastMCP in Python and the MCP SDK in TypeScript.

How do I validate inputs and handle errors when building MCP tools?

Validate MCP tool inputs using typed schemas with Pydantic for Python or Zod for TypeScript, and handle errors by returning structured outputs that inform the LLM of execution failures.

What are the steps to test and evaluate an MCP server?

Testing an MCP server involves following a step-by-step workflow from implementation to evaluations, using included reference materials and quality checklists to verify tool readiness and reliability.
