What is an MCP server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is a specialized service that provides tools and resources to LLMs, allowing them to interact securely with external data and APIs through a standardized interface.

Does this skill support both Python and TypeScript?

Yes, it includes detailed implementation guides, best practices, and project structures for both the Python (FastMCP) and Node/TypeScript MCP SDKs.

How does agent-centric design improve MCP tools?

It focuses on building tools for entire workflows rather than single endpoints, optimizes response data for limited context windows, and provides actionable error messages that help agents self-correct.

How can I test the MCP servers I build?

The skill guides you through creating a comprehensive evaluation suite with complex, realistic QA pairs to verify that the agent can effectively use your tools to solve multi-step problems.
