FAQPage Schema
What is project onboarding for a new MCP server after running init?▼

Project onboarding for a new MCP server involves orienting developers to the scaffolded directory structure, conventions, and skill-sync model to accelerate productive setup after running the init CLI.

How do I use CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md in my project structure?▼

You use CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md as generated guidance files to understand your project structure, locate the skills/ directory, and bootstrap agent protocols for ongoing maintenance workflows.

What's the best way to understand the scaffolded directory structure of my MCP server?▼

The best way to understand the scaffolded directory structure is to review the post-init artifacts generated by the init CLI, which map out the repository structure and skills directory for knowledge transfer.

Do I need the init CLI to set up agent protocols and project scaffolding?▼

Yes, you need to run the MCP init CLI workflow first to generate the scaffolding and lifecycle artifacts, which this onboarding guide then explains to help you bootstrap and maintain agent protocols.

What does the skill-sync model do for MCP server maintenance?▼

The skill-sync model provides a lifecycle framework for maintaining and synchronizing skills within the scaffolded project structure, ensuring continuous knowledge transfer and protocol consistency.
