mcp-architecture SKILL.md skillA
mcp-architecture from frankxai/claude-skills-library is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add frankxai/claude-skills-library/mcp-architecture@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design and implement Model Context Protocol servers with resources, tools, prompts, and security best practices. Use when architecting an MCP server, modeling its resources/tools/prompts, or integrating a service as an MCP endpoint.
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 Architecture Expert Skill
## Purpose
Master the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build standardized, reusable integrations between AI systems and data sources, eliminating the N×M integration problem.
## What is MCP?
### Model Context Protocol
Open standard (November 2024, Anthropic) for connecting AI systems to external data sources and tools through a unified protocol.
**The Problem:** N agents × M tools = N×M custom integrations
**The Solution:** N agents + M MCP servers = N+M integrations (any agent uses any tool)

How to install
mdr add frankxai/claude-skills-library/mcp-architecture@sha256:9a5ebe71a8bde5c0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
