MCP Server Builder

Overview

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers enable LLMs to interact with external tools and APIs. This skill should be invoked when building MCP servers to integrate external services, create LLM tool integrations, or extend AI agent capabilities.

Core Principles

• Tool Design: Create clear, composable tool definitions
• Schema Validation: Define input/output schemas for each tool
• Error Handling: Implement comprehensive error handling
• Testing: Write evaluation tests for reliability

Preparation Checklist

• Understand target API or service
• Design tool schema structure
• Choose MCP SDK (Python, TypeScript)
• Plan error handling strategy
