mcp-builder

mcp-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,848 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building MCP servers. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a way to expose tools, data, and reusable prompts to AI clients.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define AI-callable tools, resource URLs, prompt templates, server transports, security controls, tests, and client integration.
Why use it?
It helps structure AI integrations so clients can safely call actions, read resources, use prompts, and handle errors across supported connection methods.

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 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 Builder

Overview

Build production-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI clients. This skill covers the full development lifecycle: tool definition, resource management, prompt templates, transport configuration (stdio, SSE), error handling, security hardening, testing, and client integration.

Phase 1: Design

  1. Identify capabilities to expose (tools, resources, prompts)
  2. Define tool schemas with Zod/JSON Schema
  3. Plan resource URI patterns
  4. Design error handling strategy
  5. Choose transport layer (stdio for CLI, SSE for web)

STOP — Present the capability inventory and transport choice to user for approval.

Capability Selection Decision Table

What You Have MCP Primitive Example
Actions that modify state Tool create-issue, send-email, deploy-app
Actions that read/query Tool search-documents, get-status
Data the AI should read Resource config://settings, docs://api/endpoints
Reusable prompt patterns Prompt code-review, summarize-document
Real-time data feeds Resource (subscribable) metrics://cpu/current

Transport Selection Decision Table

Context Transport Why
CLI tool, local client (Claude Desktop) Stdio Simple, no network overhead
Web application, remote clients SSE Network-accessible, real-time
Both local and remote Stdio + SSE Support both use cases
High-throughput, bidirectional WebSocket (custom) Lower latency than SSE

Phase 2: Implementation

  1. Set up MCP server project structure
  2. Implement tool handlers with input validation
  3. Implement resource providers
  4. Add prompt templates
  5. Configure transport and authentication

STOP — Run basic smoke tests before moving to hardening.

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 Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents (3 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 2,848 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
