About mcp-builder
A skill for designing and implementing MCP servers around end-to-end user workflows. It guides developers from API research and tool design through shared infrastructure and realistic evaluation.
Key features
- 01Workflow-oriented tool design
- 02Tool schemas and docstrings
- 03Authentication and request helpers
- 04Pagination and response formatting
- 05Server evaluation resources
Use cases
- 01Plan MCP tools from API documentation
- 02Build a Python or TypeScript MCP server
- 03Improve error messages and tool outputs
- 04Evaluate server usability with realistic tasks
MCP support
Guides developers in creating MCP servers, including tool inventories, input and output schemas, and evaluation prompts or scripts.

From the project READMEMCP Builder
Build MCP servers around user workflows, not raw API endpoints.
Workflow
- Read the target API docs and identify the workflows an agent must complete end to end.
- Design a small tool surface with high-signal outputs, clear identifiers, and actionable errors.
- Implement shared infrastructure first: auth, request helpers, pagination, truncation, and formatting.
- Add tool schemas and docstrings that make correct usage obvious.
- Evaluate the server with realistic tasks before expanding scope.
Principles
- Prefer workflow tools over thin endpoint wrappers.
- Return concise, high-signal responses by default.
- Use human-readable identifiers whenever possible.
- Make error messages corrective: tell the agent what to try next.
- Design for limited context and large datasets.

Deliverables
- A concrete tool inventory tied to user workflows.
- Strict input/output schemas.
- Evaluation prompts or scripts that confirm the server is usable by an agent.
