MCP server building, advanced patterns, and security hardening. Use when building MCP servers, implementing tool handlers, choosing a transport, adding OAuth authentication, wiring MCP Apps UI with @mcp-ui, hardening MCP security, or debugging MCP integrations.
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 Patterns Patterns for building, composing, and securing Model Context Protocol servers. Based on the **2025-11-25 specification** — the latest stable release maintained by the [Agentic AI Foundation](https://agenticaifoundation.org/) (Linux Foundation), co-founded by Anthropic, Block, and OpenAI. > **Scaffolding a new server?** Use Anthropic's `mcp-builder` skill (from the `anthropics/skills` marketplace: `/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills`) for project setup and evaluation creation. This skill focuses on **patterns, security, and advanced features** after initial setup. > > **Deploying to Cloudflare?** See the `building-mcp-server-on-cloudflare` skill for Workers-specific deployment patterns. > **Pin `mcp<2` until you migrate.** Every Python snippet in this skill targets the v1 SDK > (`from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP`). The Python SDK released **2.0.0**, `pip install mcp` > now resolves to it, and upstream's own README says to keep a `<2` upper bound on your requirement > until you have migrated. `FastMCP` does not appear anywhere in the 2.0 README, so treat these …

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.
