SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Building MCP servers can be complex, requiring tooling, resources, prompts, validation, and transport configuration. This Skill provides ready-to-use patterns and guidance to standardize MCP server construction with a Node/TypeScript SDK, reducing boilerplate and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reusable MCP server patterns for Tools, Resources, and Prompts, with transport options (stdio vs streamable HTTP) and Zod validation.
  • Clear guidance for creating, updating, and debugging MCP servers, including registration and transport configuration across different SDK versions.
  • Use cases include starting a new MCP server, adding tools/resources/prompts, and debugging server registration and transport issues.

Quick Start

Install the MCP SDK and scaffold a server using the provided patterns to register tools, resources, and prompts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an MCP server with Node and TypeScript?

Register MCP tools, resources, and prompts using the Node TypeScript SDK by defining their schemas and handlers. This process standardizes server construction, reducing boilerplate and registration errors across different SDK versions.

How do I validate MCP tool inputs using Zod in TypeScript?

Validate MCP tool inputs using Zod in TypeScript by defining type-safe schemas within your tool registration patterns. This ensures input validation is enforced directly during server wiring and tool execution.

What is the difference between stdio and streamable HTTP transport in MCP servers?

The difference between stdio and streamable HTTP transport in MCP servers is the communication channel. Stdio uses standard input/output streams for local execution, while streamable HTTP enables remote server connections over the network.

Why is my MCP server registration not working?

MCP server registration fails when transport configurations or tool schemas are mismatched. Debug registration issues by checking your server wiring patterns and verifying that tool, resource, and prompt definitions align with your current SDK version.

Can I add new resources and prompts to an existing MCP server?

Yes, you can add new resources and prompts to an existing MCP server by updating your Node TypeScript SDK patterns. The Skill provides specific guidance for appending these components without breaking current transport configurations.
