SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

MCP servers often require consistent tooling patterns to register tools, resources, and prompts across SDK variants and transports. This skill provides a structured approach to building, maintaining, and debugging MCP servers with clear guidelines on stdio and Streamable HTTP transport.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardizes tool and resource registration across MCP SDK variants.
  • Provides patterns for stdio vs streamable HTTP transport and debugging workflows.
  • Use case: Build an internal MCP server to expose a set of tools and resources securely and scalably.

Quick Start

Create a minimal MCP server using the provided patterns and register a sample tool and a sample resource.

Frequently Asked Questions about mcp-server-patterns

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

To register tools and resources in an MCP server, apply pattern-driven modular construction using the Node/TypeScript SDK to standardize registration across SDK variants and ensure secure exposure.

What is the difference between stdio and Streamable HTTP transports for MCP servers?▼

MCP server transports differ by connection type; stdio uses standard input/output for local processes, while Streamable HTTP enables scalable network communication. The skill provides patterns to choose between them based on your deployment needs.

How do I validate MCP server tool inputs with Zod?▼

Validate MCP server tool inputs with Zod by applying SDK conventions outlined in the skill to ensure robust type checking and validation during tool registration and modular server construction.

Can I use Node SDK patterns to debug MCP server transport interoperability?▼

Yes, you can use Node SDK patterns to debug MCP server transport interoperability; the skill provides debugging workflows specifically addressing stdio and Streamable HTTP transport connections.

Why does my MCP server pattern fail to expose prompts to AI assistants?▼

MCP server patterns fail to expose prompts when registration deviates from SDK conventions; the skill addresses this by standardizing tool, resource, and prompt registration across variants to ensure AI assistants can call them.
