What problem does it solve?
The MCP-builder skill guides developers to scaffold MCP servers and register well-typed tools using the MCP Python and TypeScript SDKs, streamlining setup and ensuring best practices are followed.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scaffolding: Generates project skeletons for Python FastMCP or TypeScript MCP servers, including transport configuration and basic tool scaffolds.
- Typed Tool Registration: Demonstrates how to define input schemas (Pydantic/Zod) and annotate tools with descriptive metadata for robust, discoverable APIs.
- Transport & Architecture Guidance: Covers stdio and streamable HTTP transports, error handling patterns, and modular design to enable scalable MCP ecosystems.
- Evaluation & Quality: Provides guidelines and templates for evaluating MCP servers using the included evaluation harness and best-practices references.
Quick Start
Create a new mcp-builder project using the scaffold templates and start the local server to expose a minimal MCP with one sample tool.
