mcp-server-development 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.

mcp-server-development from akiojin/llmlb is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add akiojin/llmlb/mcp-server-development@git:20251220.2c0f56e

Pins git:20251220.2c0f56e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Expert guidance for building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers using the TypeScript SDK. Use when developing MCP servers, implementing tools/resources/prompts, or working with the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk package. Covers server initialization, request handlers, Zod schemas, error handling, and JSON-RPC patterns.

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

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for building robust MCP servers, with specific focus on the unity-mcp-server architecture and patterns.

## Core Philosophy

MCP servers bridge AI assistants to external systems. They must be:
- **Reliable**: Handle errors gracefully, never crash unexpectedly
- **Discoverable**: Tools should have clear, self-documenting schemas
- **Performant**: Minimize latency, especially for stdio transport
- **Protocol-compliant**: Follow JSON-RPC 2.0 and MCP spec exactly

## Architecture Patterns

### Handler-Based Design

**ALWAYS** use a handler class per tool. Each handler encapsulates:
- Input validation (Zod schema)
- Business logic execution
- Error handling and response formatting

```javascript
// Pattern: One handler per tool
export class SystemPingToolHandler extends BaseToolHandler {
  constructor(unityConnection) {
    super({
      name: 'system_ping',
      description: 'Check Unity Editor connectivity',
      inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {} }
    });
    this.unityConnection = unityConnection;
  }

  async execute(params) {
    const result = await this.unityConnection.send({ command: 'ping' });
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akiojin/llmlb/mcp-server-development@sha256:5864dcb3f259193f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251220.2c0f56e, 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.
