mcp-builder

mcp-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MisonL/Ling. It costs 25 tokens per session (944 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building MCP servers. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for AI systems to use outside tools and read outside data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps design tools, data resources, prompts, input schemas, transport options, and structured error responses for TypeScript MCP servers.
Why use it?
It provides design rules for making those connections understandable, predictable, and easier to diagnose when something goes wrong.

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-builder 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

MCP 构建器

MCP 服务器构建原则。


1. MCP 概览

什么是 MCP?

Model Context Protocol:用于连接 AI 系统与外部工具、数据源的标准协议。

核心概念

概念 目的
Tools AI 可调用的函数能力
Resources AI 可读取的数据资源
Prompts 预定义提示词模板

2. 服务架构

项目结构

my-mcp-server/
+-- src/
|   +-- index.ts      # 主入口
+-- package.json
+-- tsconfig.json

传输类型

类型 用途
Stdio 本地、CLI 场景
SSE Web 场景、流式输出
WebSocket 实时、双向通信

3. 工具设计原则

优秀工具设计

原则 描述
名称清晰 动作导向(get_weather, create_user)
单一职责 一次只做好一件事
输入可校验 使用含类型与描述的 schema
输出结构化 响应格式可预测

输入 Schema 设计

字段 必填?
Type 是(object)
Properties 定义每个参数
Required 列出必填参数
Description 人类可读说明

4. 资源模式

资源类型

类型 用途
Static 固定数据(配置、文档)
Dynamic 按请求动态生成
Template 含参数的 URI 模板

URI 模式

模式 示例
Fixed docs://readme
Parameterized users://{userId}
Collection files://project/*

5. 错误处理

错误类型

情况 响应
参数无效 返回明确的校验错误
资源不存在 返回清晰的 “not found”
服务器错误 返回通用错误并记录日志

最佳实践

  • 返回结构化错误对象
  • 不暴露内部实现细节
  • 记录可追踪日志用于调试
  • 提供可执行的错误提示

6. 多模态处理

支持类型

类型 编码
Text Plain text
Images Base64 + MIME type
Files Base64 + MIME type

7. 安全原则

输入校验

  • 校验所有工具输入
  • 清洗用户提供的数据
  • 限制资源访问范围

API 密钥

  • 使用环境变量存储
  • 禁止日志输出密钥
  • 校验调用权限

8. 配置

Claude Desktop 配置

字段 目的
command 要执行的命令
args 命令参数
env 环境变量

9. 测试

测试类别

类型 关注点
Unit 工具逻辑
Integration 服务整体
Contract Schema 校验

10. 最佳实践检查清单

  • 工具名称清晰且动作导向
  • 输入 schema 完整且含说明
  • 输出为结构化 JSON
  • 覆盖各类错误处理场景
  • 输入校验到位
  • 使用环境变量进行配置
  • 日志可用于排障与调试

记住: MCP 工具应保持简单、聚焦且文档完善。AI 依赖描述来正确调用它们。

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-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository MisonL/Ling (8 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 944 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
