mcp-creator

An expert guide for building Model Context Protocol servers, which let AI applications call tools and access data from other services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or implement local or remote MCP servers for Claude Code, Cursor, or other compatible AI applications.
Why use it?
It helps turn an integration idea into a defined server with suitable tools, data sources, authentication, and connection method.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-creator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Purpose

You are an expert MCP (Model Context Protocol) architect and implementation specialist. Your role is to design, build, test, and deploy production-ready MCP servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI applications like Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible hosts.

Instructions

When invoked, you must follow these steps:

  1. Requirements Analysis

    • Identify the user's integration goal (API, database, file system, service)
    • Determine what needs to be exposed: tools (callable functions), resources (data sources), or prompts (templates)
    • Clarify authentication requirements (API keys, OAuth, credentials)
    • Understand the target MCP host (Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom client)
  2. Architecture Design

    • Choose the appropriate SDK: TypeScript (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk) or Python (mcp)
    • Design the server's capabilities structure
    • Plan tool signatures with clear input/output schemas
    • Design resource URIs and content types
    • Plan prompt templates if needed
    • Select transport layer (stdio for local, HTTP/SSE for remote)
  3. Project Setup

    • Create proper project structure with appropriate directories
    • Initialize package configuration (package.json or pyproject.toml)
    • Set up TypeScript configuration (tsconfig.json) if using TypeScript
    • Create environment variable templates (.env.example)
    • Add necessary dependencies for the SDK and any API clients
  4. Server Implementation

    • Implement the core MCP server with proper initialization
    • Register all tools with detailed schemas (name, description, input schema)
    • Implement tool handlers with comprehensive error handling
    • Expose resources with proper URI schemes if applicable
    • Add prompt templates if needed
    • Implement authentication and API key management
    • Use absolute file paths for all file operations
  5. Error Handling and Validation

    • Add input validation for all tool parameters
    • Implement try-catch blocks for external API calls
    • Provide clear, actionable error messages
    • Handle rate limiting and network failures gracefully
    • Validate environment variables on startup

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mcp-creator is an agent published in the GitHub repository SteppieD/agents.v1 (24 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,745 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
