Does this skill support both Python and TypeScript?

Yes, it provides dedicated implementation guides and best practices for both the Python (FastMCP) and Node/TypeScript MCP SDKs.

How does this skill improve AI agent performance?

It focuses on agent-centric design, teaching you how to build tools that prioritize high-signal data, handle context limits, and provide actionable error messages.

What is 'Evaluation-Driven Development' in the context of MCP?

It involves creating realistic, complex QA pairs early in development to ensure the LLM can successfully navigate your tools to solve real-world tasks.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that allows AI models to securely interact with external data sources and tools through standardized server implementations.

Can I test my MCP servers using this skill?

Yes, it includes a specific workflow for creating evaluations and using safe testing methods like the evaluation harness to verify server behavior without hanging the process.
