mcp-server-builder SKILL.md skillA

mcp-server-builder from yeaight7/agent-powerups is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/mcp-server-builder@git:20260602.a5b7eeb

Pins git:20260602.a5b7eeb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design high-quality MCP servers around workflows, narrow schemas, context-aware outputs, and actionable errors. Use when building or reviewing MCP tools for real agent tasks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# MCP Server Builder

Use this skill when designing or implementing an MCP server.

## When to Use

- Building a new MCP server from scratch.
- Refactoring a weak or over-thin MCP tool surface.
- Reviewing whether a server exposes the right workflows.
- Designing evaluation cases for MCP usability.

## Core Principles

- Build **workflow tools**, not thin endpoint wrappers — one tool should complete a meaningful agent task, not expose a single API method.
- Keep input schemas **narrow and typed** — reject unknown fields; use enums over free strings where possible.
- Return **high-signal, size-bounded outputs** — default to concise; add `detail` or `verbose` flags when larger payloads are occasionally useful.
- Make error messages **corrective** — tell the agent what to do next, not just what went wrong.
- Prefer **human-meaningful identifiers** over opaque IDs when both are available.
- Design **evaluation cases** before declaring the server "done".

## Workflow

### 1. Map the workflow

- Identify the real tasks an agent must complete, not the underlying API surface.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/mcp-server-builder@sha256:b04c7f9432547240

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260602.a5b7eeb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
