mcp-builder

mcp-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from monkey1wizard/Golem-Agents-Legion. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,168 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mcp-builder, MIT.

A guide for building MCP servers. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for an AI agent to use tools that connect it to outside services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating an MCP server in Python or Node/TypeScript to connect an agent to an external API or service.
Why use it?
It helps developers design these connections around useful workflows and test them with suitable tools, rather than exposing an unclear collection of API calls.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/connections.py, scripts/evaluation.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Guide

Overview

Create MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks.

When current documentation is needed, prefer MCP tools over generic recollection:

  • Use context7 for library, framework, SDK, and package documentation
  • Use fetch for raw MCP spec pages, GitHub READMEs, and general web documentation

When evaluating an MCP server, use Playwright MCP only when the server exposes browser-visible behavior such as a Web UI, rendered docs, or end-user browser flows that cannot be verified well through Inspector or CLI-only checks. API-only or read-only server evaluation should stay on MCP Inspector, unit tests, and deterministic CLI paths.

If these MCPs are unavailable, fall back to direct web retrieval.


Process

🚀 High-Level Workflow

Creating a high-quality MCP server involves four main phases:

Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning

1.1 Understand Modern MCP Design

API Coverage vs. Workflow Tools: Balance comprehensive API endpoint coverage with specialized workflow tools. Workflow tools can be more convenient for specific tasks, while comprehensive coverage gives agents flexibility to compose operations. Performance varies by client—some clients benefit from code execution that combines basic tools, while others work better with higher-level workflows. When uncertain, prioritize comprehensive API coverage.

Tool Naming and Discoverability: Clear, descriptive tool names help agents find the right tools quickly. Use consistent prefixes (e.g., github_create_issue, github_list_repos) and action-oriented naming.

Context Management: Agents benefit from concise tool descriptions and the ability to filter/paginate results. Design tools that return focused, relevant data. Some clients support code execution which can help agents filter and process data efficiently.

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.
