mcp-builder SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 6 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

mcp-builder from frankxai/agentic-creator-os is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add frankxai/agentic-creator-os/mcp-builder@git:20260124.0bc6f23

Pins git:20260124.0bc6f23 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Guide for creating high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. Use when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services, whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK).

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 Development Guide

## Overview

To create high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to effectively interact with external services, use this skill. An MCP server provides tools that allow LLMs to access external services and APIs. The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks using the tools provided.

# Process

## 🚀 High-Level Workflow

Creating a high-quality MCP server involves four main phases:

### Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning

#### 1.1 Understand Agent-Centric Design Principles

Before diving into implementation, understand how to design tools for AI agents by reviewing these principles:

**Build for Workflows, Not Just API Endpoints:**
- Don't simply wrap existing API endpoints - build thoughtful, high-impact workflow tools
- Consolidate related operations (e.g., `schedule_event` that both checks availability and creates event)
- Focus on tools that enable complete tasks, not just individual API calls
- Consider what workflows agents actually need to accomplish

**Optimize for Limited Context:**
- Agents have constrained context windows - make every token count

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frankxai/agentic-creator-os/mcp-builder@sha256:b1010e90adcb8fd6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260124.0bc6f23, 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.
