What problem does it solve?
MCP servers often fail in practice because tools lack clear schemas, naming, pagination behavior, error messages, and evaluation coverage; this guide helps you design and implement MCP servers that reliably enable LLMs to use external services through well-defined tools.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Tool and protocol design guidance: Align MCP tool naming, descriptions, input/output schemas, and context management with how clients reason about tools.
- Implementation playbooks for TypeScript and Python: Build MCP servers using recommended SDK patterns (TypeScript SDK and FastMCP-style Python guidance) including validation (Zod/Pydantic), annotations, and transport selection.
- Quality assurance and evaluations: Create robust evaluation questions and follow a testing workflow that measures whether LLMs can complete realistic multi-step tasks using only your MCP tools.
Quick Start
Use the mcp-builder skill to design your MCP server’s tools, then generate an evaluation plan you can run to verify the server works end-to-end for realistic agent tasks.
