mcp-server-builder skillA

mcp-server-builder is agent-read markdown (skill) from onewave-ai/claude-skills: Use to build, wire up, or debug an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude access to an internal API, database, or SaaS tool. Trigger when the user wants Claude to connect to their own system, asks for an MCP server, needs custom tools for Claude Code or the Claude app, or an existing server's tools are not showing up..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# MCP Server Builder

An MCP server is how Claude reaches a system it does not otherwise know about — your database, your internal API, your ops tooling. The protocol is small. Almost every real problem is a design problem: which tools to expose and what they return.

## Decide the Shape First

**Local (stdio)** — runs on the user's machine, launched by the client, credentials from the local environment. Right for developer tooling and anything touching localhost or a local database. Only that machine gets it.

**Remote (HTTP)** — deployed once, reached by URL, OAuth for identity. Right when a team needs it, or when the data lives in a service rather than on a laptop. Everyone gets updates the moment you deploy.

Build remote when more than one person will use it. Retrofitting local-only to multi-user later means redoing auth from scratch.

## Tool Design — the part that matters

Tools are an interface for a model, not a REST API. The common failure is exposing twenty thin endpoint wrappers and watching the model chain them badly.

- **Name the job, not the endpoint.** `get_pipeline_board` beats `query_deals` plus `query_stages` plus `query_owners`.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add onewave-ai/claude-skills/mcp-server-builder@git:20260920.97b5147
Exact content
mdr add onewave-ai/claude-skills/mcp-server-builder@sha256:938aec998d2c56cf

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
