What problem does it solve?
Building MCP servers that let LLMs interact with external services requires a structured blueprint, best practices, and tested patterns. This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to design, implement, test, and evaluate MCP servers using Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK), along with reference materials and example tooling.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Language-agnostic guidance: Learn MCP server architecture and tooling patterns for both Python and TypeScript.
- Best practices and references: Access MCP protocol guidelines, SDK usage, naming conventions, and security considerations.
- Evaluation-ready workflow: Includes a read-only evaluation harness and templates to validate MCP server capabilities.
Quick Start
Begin by reviewing the MCP best practices and reference guides, scaffold a new MCP server following the recommended SDK patterns, implement a couple of sample tools, and run the built-in evaluation harness to confirm functionality.
