SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The MCP Server Patterns skill provides a structured approach to building and maintaining MCP servers by guiding tool, resource, and prompt registration through the Node/TypeScript SDK, while accommodating stdio and Streamable HTTP transports and referencing Context7 or official MCP docs for the latest API.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define tools that the model can invoke via registerTool or tool, with proper input schemas.
  • Expose resources that the model can read via resource handlers, including uri-based access.
  • Create reusable prompts and templates to surface in the client UI or workflows.
  • Support transport options (stdio for local clients; Streamable HTTP for remote use) and ensure compatibility with current MCP specs.
  • Debug, upgrade, and extend MCP servers when adding or modifying tools, resources, or prompts.

Quick Start

Set up a new MCP server project, register a sample tool and resource, and test with a local client.

FAQPage Schema
How do I register tools and resources in an MCP server using Node and TypeScript?

You can register tools and resources in an MCP server using the Node/TypeScript SDK by applying registerTool or resource handlers with proper Zod input schema validation.

How does MCP server transport differ between stdio and Streamable HTTP?

MCP server transport uses stdio for local clients and Streamable HTTP for remote use, requiring proper configuration to ensure compatibility with current MCP specifications.

Do I need Zod to build an MCP server with the TypeScript SDK?

Yes, Zod is required to build an MCP server with the TypeScript SDK because it validates the input schemas for registered tools, resources, and prompts.

What is the best way to expose reusable prompts in an MCP server?

The best way to expose reusable prompts in an MCP server is by creating templates and registering them via the Node/TypeScript SDK to surface in client UIs or workflows.

How do I debug MCP server registration workflows for tools and resources?

Debug MCP server registration workflows by verifying tool and resource handlers, checking Zod input schema validation, and ensuring transport compatibility for stdio or Streamable HTTP.
