mcp-server-builder skillA

mcp-server-builder is agent-read markdown (skill) from yeaight7/agent-powerups: 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..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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

Latest version
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/mcp-server-builder@git:20260606.37ed5ec
Exact content
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/mcp-server-builder@sha256:b04c7f9432547240

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
