What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a comprehensive guide for designing and implementing MCP servers that expose data and cognition to LLMs via Tools, Resources, and Prompts. It covers naming conventions, input validation, structured outputs, transport options, error handling, security considerations, and best-practice patterns for production-grade integrations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized tool registration with strong input validation (Zod/Pydantic) and explicit annotations.
- Resource and prompt exposition patterns to expose data and reusable templates.
- Clear transport strategies (stdio and streamable HTTP) with guidance on lifecycle, lifespan, and security.
- End-to-end workflows for building MCP servers in TypeScript and Python, including error handling and testing.
- Practical use cases covering API integrations, external services, and workflow automation.
Quick Start
Create a minimal MCP server exposing a single tool and a basic resource, then run it using the stdio transport.
