build-mcp-server

Entry point for MCP server development — interrogates the user about their use case, determines the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio), picks a tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills. Triggers when the user asks to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP", "make an MCP integration", "wrap an API for Claude", "expose tools to Claude", "make an MCP app", or discusses building something with the Model Context Protocol.

# Build an MCP Server

You are guiding a developer through designing and building an MCP server that works seamlessly with Claude. MCP servers come in many forms — picking the wrong shape early causes painful rewrites later. Your first job is **discovery, not code**.

Do not start scaffolding until you have answers to the questions in Phase 1. If the user's opening message already answers them, acknowledge that and skip straight to the recommendation.

## When to Apply

- User asks to build, create, or scaffold an MCP server
- User wants to wrap a REST/GraphQL API for use with Claude
- User wants to expose tools, resources, or prompts via MCP
- User is choosing between deployment models (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio)
- User is designing tool schemas for an MCP integration
