💡 This Skill requires @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod.

What problem does it solve?

Developing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers requires deep knowledge of the protocol, SDK, and best practices. This Skill eliminates the guesswork, providing expert guidance to build robust, compliant, and error-free MCP servers, saving development time and reducing debugging complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

Server Initialization: Guides you through setting up new MCP servers using the TypeScript SDK.
Tool & Resource Implementation: Provides patterns for implementing custom tools, resources, and prompts with Zod validation.
Protocol-Compliant Error Handling: Ensures your server handles errors gracefully using McpError for reliable communication.
Use Case: Quickly set up a new MCP server, implement a custom tool to interact with an external API, or debug protocol-compliant errors in an existing server.
