What problem does it solve?
MCP server development can be complex and error-prone without a structured guide. This skill provides a comprehensive roadmap, patterns, and references to help teams design, implement, test, and evaluate MCP servers that let LLMs interact with external services through well-designed tools.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured scaffold for Node/TypeScript or Python MCP servers following MCP SDKs and FastMCP patterns.
- Tool design best practices: input/output schemas, annotations, pagination, error handling, and secure integration.
- Reference material: MCP best practices, implementation guides, SDK references, and evaluation strategies.
- Use cases: quickly scaffold API integrations, build composable tools, and run evaluations to validate capabilities.
Quick Start
Begin by reviewing the SKILL.md, then consult the MCP Best Practices and the language-specific guides in the references. Create a minimal MCP server following the naming conventions {service}-mcp-server (Node) or {service}_mcp (Python), register at least one tool, and run a basic test against the MCP server using the provided evaluation workflow.
