Build production MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that let LLMs drive an external API through well-designed tools, in TypeScript (MCP SDK) or Python (FastMCP). Route one request to research and planning, tool design, transport choice, implementation, security review, or evaluation. Use when the user wants to wrap an API as MCP tools, name and shape those tools, choose between stdio and streamable HTTP, decide tools vs resources vs prompts, write a Server Card and publish to the MCP…

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 Builder

Build an MCP server whose quality is measured by one thing: **can an LLM
actually accomplish real tasks with it?** Not endpoint coverage, not schema
elegance. A server that mirrors 40 REST endpoints and leaves the model unable to
complete a workflow has failed.

The most common failure is treating this as an API-wrapping exercise. Tool
naming, response shape, error text, and pagination are all *agent ergonomics*
problems, and they decide whether the server works.

Bundled from `anthropics/skills` commit
`3b3fad96af16a10759d930941b4520ba0c40edae` (2026-08-21), Apache-2.0. Upstream
ships `skills/mcp-builder/LICENSE.txt`; the repository root carries no SPDX
license, so the per-skill license is the operative one — see
[upstream and licensing](references/upstream-and-licensing.md).

## When to use this skill

- Wrap an external API or service as an MCP server.
- Decide tool granularity: comprehensive endpoint coverage versus workflow tools.
- Name and shape tools so an agent picks the right one unprompted.
- Choose a transport and a state model.
- Diagnose a server whose tools the model misuses or cannot chain.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/mcp-builder@sha256:dd3be44e49e65300

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
