What problem does it solve?
MCP server development often requires coordinating tooling patterns, transport choices, validation, and testing. This Skill provides a structured, standards-aligned blueprint for building MCP servers in TypeScript or Python, covering architecture, tool design, transport options, error handling, and evaluation workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive MCP server development guidance covering architecture, tooling patterns, and best practices
- Type-safe tool design using TypeScript (Zod) or Python (Pydantic) schemas
- Guidance on server transports (stdio and streamable HTTP) and performance considerations
- Step-by-step implementation patterns with language-agnostic examples
- Evaluation and testing guidance to validate MCP server capabilities
Use cases include building a new MCP server for a third-party API, extending an existing MCP server, and performing thorough quality checks before deployment.
Quick Start
Instantiate an MCP server following the canonical guides for TypeScript or Python, register at least one tool with a clear input schema, and run the server using stdio or streamable HTTP transport.
