Creates and improves MCP server definitions (a portable .mcp.json) for a plugin to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when you need to add an MCP server to a plugin, author or extend .mcp.json, or wire the per-target mcpServers manifest pointer.
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
# askit-build-mcp
## Purpose
Author the plugin's MCP servers as one portable `.mcp.json` at the plugin root (the standard `{ "mcpServers": { ... } }` format) and wire the per-target `mcpServers` manifest pointer. Two modes: `create` adds a server; `improve` fixes findings. MCP is Universal-tier: the server definition is portable and both Claude and Codex ingest a bundled `.mcp.json` referenced by the native manifest's `mcpServers` pointer (Standard sec 3.9). Authoring depth is in [references/authoring-mcp.md](references/authoring-mcp.md). Follows the shared builder contract ([../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md](../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md)).
## When to use
When the user asks to add, scaffold, author, or improve an MCP server (tools, resources, or prompts via the Model Context Protocol) for a plugin.
## create mode
1. Brief interview: server name (kebab-case), transport (`stdio` or `http`), the `command` plus `args` (stdio) or the `url` (http), and any secrets as an env-var NAME (never an inline value). Skip the interview if these are already in context.

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit/askit-build-mcp@sha256:bc44e9fb6aa18ab8The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
