mcp-development

mcp-development is a command for GitHub Copilot from saajunaid/caddis-plugin. It costs 13 tokens per session (650 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template for creating or changing MCP servers. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for AI applications to connect to external tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps develop MCP servers and modify existing ones.
Why use it?
It provides a starting structure for work on an MCP server instead of beginning with an empty project.

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-development 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 1mo 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.

MCP Server Development Prompt

Use this prompt template when asking AI to create or modify MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

Context Template

I need to create/modify an MCP server for [PURPOSE].

## Environment
- Language: Python 3.11+
- Framework: FastMCP / MCP Python SDK
- Target: VS Code Copilot / Claude Code / Cursor

## Required Capabilities
[List the tools/resources this MCP should provide]

## Integration Points
- [External API / Database / Service to connect to]
- Authentication method: [API key / OAuth / Connection string]

## Constraints
- [Air-gapped: Must work offline]
- [Security: No credential exposure]
- [Performance: Response time requirements]

Example: Database MCP

I need to create an MCP server for SQL Server database access.

## Environment
- Language: Python 3.11+
- Framework: FastMCP
- Target: VS Code Copilot Chat

## Required Capabilities
- query_database: Execute read-only SQL queries
- get_schema: Retrieve table schemas
- list_tables: Show available tables
- get_sample_data: Get sample rows from a table

## Integration Points
- SQL Server via pyodbc
- Connection string from environment variables

## Constraints
- Read-only queries only (no INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE)
- Query timeout: 30 seconds
- Result limit: 1000 rows
- No credential logging

Expected Output Structure

from mcp import FastMCP
from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    """Environment configuration"""
    db_server: str
    db_name: str
    db_user: str
    db_password: str
    
    class Config:
        env_prefix = "DB_"

# Initialize MCP server
mcp = FastMCP("<APP_NAME>-database")
settings = Settings()

@mcp.tool()
def query_database(sql: str) -> dict:
    """Execute a read-only SQL query and return results"""
    # Implementation
    pass

@mcp.tool()
def get_schema(table_name: str) -> dict:
    """Get the schema for a specific table"""
    # Implementation
    pass

@mcp.resource("schema://tables")
def list_tables() -> str:
    """List all available tables in the database"""
    # Implementation

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.
