mcp-builder

mcp-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from omnigentx/jarvis. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,062 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mcp-builder, MIT.

A guide for building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, which let AI assistants use tools connected to outside services such as APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating an MCP server in Python or Node.js/TypeScript to connect an assistant to an external API or service.
Why use it?
It helps you decide which tools to expose, how to define their inputs and outputs, and how to check that an AI assistant can use them reliably.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is [`mcp-authoring`](../mcp-authoring/SKILL.md) skill — that's Jarvis's.

Good fit Use it when creating an MCP server in Python or Node.js/TypeScript to connect an assistant to an external API or service.

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 7d 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

Working inside Jarvis? For runtime install / scaffold / smoke-test / attach / promote via the mcp_admin tools, see the companion mcp-authoring skill — that's Jarvis's management surface. This guide covers the design of a good MCP server (tool surface, schemas, evaluations) and is provider-agnostic. The two skills complement each other: read mcp-authoring for the buttons to press; read this for what to build behind them.

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.


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.

Actionable Error Messages: Error messages should guide agents toward solutions with specific suggestions and next steps.

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.
