MCP Server Development Guide
Build high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services.
Core Design Principles
Build for Workflows, Not Just APIs
| Principle | Why |
|---|---|
| Consolidate operations | Single tool for complete tasks |
| Return high-signal data | Agents have limited context |
| Provide format options | "concise" vs "detailed" modes |
| Use human-readable IDs | Not technical codes |
| Make errors actionable | Guide toward correct usage |
Key concept: Don't just wrap API endpoints. Design tools that enable complete workflows agents actually need.
