mcp-server-development

mcp-server-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pantani/ableton-mind. It costs 38 tokens per session (313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of implementation rules for building and reviewing the TypeScript MCP server used by ableton-mind. MCP is a standard for connecting AI clients to tools, data, and prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the server, tools, resources, prompts, Ableton Live bridge client, transactions, verification, or idempotency.
Why use it?
It establishes consistent schemas, safe state changes, structured errors, reliable bridge communication, and useful tests.

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-server-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 5d 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 Server Development — TS/Node Patterns

Use this skill when implementing or reviewing src/server, src/tools, src/resources, src/prompts, src/live-client or src/feedback.

Stack

TypeScript 5, Node 20, ESM, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod, tsup, biome, vitest and native net.

Tool Rules

  • Tool names use snake_case and align with Python handler names.
  • Descriptions explain what changes, idempotency and side effects.
  • Input and output schemas use Zod. Avoid any and unknown except debug sinks.
  • Handlers are async and receive input plus ctx.
  • Mutations read before write and verify by reading back.
  • Return ok, verified and diff where relevant.
  • Errors are structured and never call process.exit.

Bridge Client

Keep a persistent JSON-RPC TCP client with request IDs, timeout, reconnect backoff and notification events. Tools talk through the context abstraction, not by importing low-level clients directly.

Resources and Prompts

Resources expose live state or embedded knowledge without mutating Live. Prompts are short client-visible templates and should not replace documentation.

Tests

Each tool needs at least one happy path and one validation/error path. Integration tests use a mock bridge by default and a real bridge only when explicitly enabled.

Changes

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.
