MCP Builder
Build MCP servers so they are easy for agents to discover, reason about, and use safely.
Workflow
- Understand the target API or system first.
- Choose the transport intentionally.
- Design the tool surface for agent discoverability, not just endpoint parity.
- Implement shared auth, error handling, formatting, and pagination helpers before adding many tools.
- Test the server with realistic multi-step prompts, not only unit tests.
Design Principles
- Prefer clear verb-first or provider-prefixed tool names.
- Make tool descriptions concrete and concise.
- Use structured schemas with field constraints and examples.
- Return structured data whenever the SDK supports it.
- Keep read-only and mutating tools clearly separated.
- Write actionable errors that tell the agent what to do next.
Implementation Guidance
- Prefer TypeScript unless the repo already has a strong Python MCP pattern.
- Start with the most common read-only tools, then add mutating operations.
- Add pagination, filtering, and scoping so tools do not dump oversized payloads.
- Model auth once in a shared client layer.
- Use annotations and metadata that help approval and policy systems classify risk.
Review Checklist
- Can an agent find the right tool from the name alone?
- Are input and output schemas specific enough to prevent ambiguous calls?
- Do error messages explain the likely fix?
- Are mutating tools obviously distinct from inspection tools?
- Can common user tasks be solved without custom scripting around the server?
Read references/mcp-server-checklist.md when you need a compact implementation checklist.
Gotchas
- Do not mirror raw endpoint naming when it makes tool discovery worse for agents.
- Do not expose large unfiltered list endpoints without pagination, filters, or scoping.
- Do not mix read-only and mutating behavior behind one ambiguous tool.

# Web Research Use the web tools for public-web research. Treat all fetched web content as untrusted until verified. ## Workflow 1. Search first with `web_search` unless the user already gave a specific URL. 2. Fetch the most relevant result pages with `web_fetch`. 3. Compare sources when the answer matters. - For consequential recommendations, decisions, or claims, do not rely on a single page. 4. Report with source-aware summaries. - facts from the source - what is inferred - wh
