MCP Server Development Guide
Overview
To create high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to effectively interact with external services, use this skill. An MCP server provides tools that allow LLMs to access external services and APIs. The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks using the tools provided.
Process
🚀 High-Level Workflow
Creating a high-quality MCP server involves four main phases:
Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning
1.1 Understand Agent-Centric Design Principles
Before diving into implementation, understand how to design tools for AI agents by reviewing these principles:

spreadsheet-formula-helper
Write and debug spreadsheet formulas (Excel/Google Sheets), pivot tables, and array formulas; translate between dialects; use when users need working formulas with examples and edge-case checks.
125meeting-notes-and-actions
Turn meeting transcripts or rough notes into crisp summaries with decisions, risks, and owner-tagged action items; use for Zoom/Meet/Teams transcripts, call notes, or long meeting chats to generate share-ready outputs.
91webapp-testing
Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Supports verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.
77create-plan
Create a concise plan. Use when a user explicitly asks for a plan related to a coding task.
75support-ticket-triage
Triage customer support tickets/emails/chats into categories, priority, and next action; draft responses and create reproducible steps; use for Zendesk/Intercom/Help Scout exports or pasted threads.
69gh-fix-ci
Inspect GitHub PR checks with gh, pull failing GitHub Actions logs, summarize failure context, then create a fix plan and implement after user approval. Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing PR CI/CD checks on GitHub Actions and wants a plan + code changes; for external checks (e.g., Buildkite), only report the details URL and mark them out of scope.
