meta-mcp-builder SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
meta-mcp-builder from kensaurus/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Build Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that expose services, APIs, and data as typed tools for agents. Use when "build an MCP server", "give Claude access to X", "create an MCP tool", "expose my API to an agent", or "AI agent integration".
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 **Degree of freedom: MIXED.** Which tools to expose `[HIGH freedom]`; SDK tool shape, annotations, env-based auth, and Inspector `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. Create MCP servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services. ## How to reason 1. **Observe** — the real agent job (search, create, send), not the raw API catalog 2. **Interpret** — compose-from-primitives vs one workflow tool 3. **Classify** — prefixed action names, typed params, annotations (readOnly / destructive / idempotent) 4. **Verify** — Inspector + valid/invalid/edge; errors tell the agent what to do next ## Worked example > **Observe:** "give Claude access to Linear"; agents will search issues and file one — not walk the full GraphQL schema. > **Interpret:** start with workflow-shaped tools, not 40 raw endpoints. > **Classify:** `linear_search_issues`, `linear_create_issue`; zod params; `create` is `readOnlyHint: false`. > **Ship:** env `LINEAR_API_KEY` (throw if missing); Inspector on both tools; no hardcoded token. ## Self-critique before reporting - **Names** — action-oriented and service-prefixed …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/meta-mcp-builder@sha256:38ac5392b26883b2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, 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.
