Skill Content
# 3.2.1 Mcp Server Builder
Use this skill when tasked with extending the agent's capabilities by building a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
1. Project Scaffolding
- **Initialization:** Scaffold standard Node.js or Python projects configured for MCP.
- **Dependencies:** Install the official `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` or the Python equivalent.
2. Server Architecture
- **Tool Definitions:** Define strict JSON schema definitions for all resources and tools the MCP server exposes.
- **Protocol Handlers:** Map incoming JSON-RPC calls from the MCP client to the private API endpoints.
3. Security & Context
- **API Keys:** Never hardcode private API keys in the MCP server. Read them cleanly from the local environment or `.env`.
- **Error Handling:** Return descriptive error contexts back over the MCP protocol so the agent can self-correct when API calls fail.
