Design an MCP server for a product — the tool surface, auth model, and safety boundaries that make it genuinely usable by AI agents. Use when asked to spec an MCP server, expose a product to agents, design tools for Claude or other MCP clients, or review why an existing MCP server performs badly. Produces a complete server spec: a small task-shaped toolset with agent-tested descriptions, auth and scoping decisions, error design, and an explicit not-exposed list.

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 Spec Skill

Every SaaS is shipping an MCP server; most dump their REST API as forty tools and wonder why agents flail. This skill designs the server as what it actually is: a *user interface for a non-human user* — few tools, task-shaped, with descriptions written for a model deciding under uncertainty.

## What This Skill Produces

- A **toolset design**: 3-10 tools mapped to agent *tasks*, not API endpoints
- **Per-tool specs**: name, description (the routing surface), parameters, returns, error behaviour
- **Auth & scoping decisions**: how credentials flow, what a token can never do
- An explicit **not-exposed list** with reasons — the most load-bearing section
- A **test plan**: the agent-eval loop that proves the toolset works

## Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):
- **The product** and what users hire it for (the top 5 jobs, not the feature list)
- **The existing API surface** (endpoints or capability list) if one exists
- **Who the agent acts for** — the end user's own account? a service account? multi-tenant?
- **The riskiest actions** the product supports (deletes, sends, payments, permission changes)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/mcp-server-spec@sha256:016fc1b2a3d35492

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.b9ea321, 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.
