SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pydantic, httpx.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a systematic guide for safely extending the AI Counsel MCP server with new tools. It ensures protocol compliance, stdio safety, and robust error handling, allowing developers to expand server capabilities without introducing instability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pydantic Model Definition: Guides creating type-safe request and response models for new MCP tools.
  • Tool Definition & Routing: Explains how to expose new tools via list_tools() and route incoming calls in call_tool().
  • Stdio Safety: Emphasizes critical rules for preventing stdout contamination, which is paramount for MCP communication.
  • Use Case: Add a new tool to the AI Counsel server that integrates with a custom knowledge base, defining its API, implementing its async handler, and ensuring it adheres to MCP protocol standards and stdio safety.

Quick Start
