Generate a complete MCP server project in TypeScript with tools, resources, and proper configuration
What this skill does
# Generate TypeScript MCP Server Create a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in TypeScript with the following specifications: ## Requirements 1. **Project Structure**: Create a new TypeScript/Node.js project with proper directory structure 2. **NPM Packages**: Include @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod@3, and either express (for HTTP) or stdio support 3. **TypeScript Configuration**: Proper tsconfig.json with ES modules support 4. **Server Type**: Choose between HTTP (with Streamable HTTP transport) or stdio-based server 5. **Tools**: Create at least one useful tool with proper schema validation 6. **Error Handling**: Include comprehensive error handling and validation ## Implementation Details ### Project Setup - Initialize with `npm init` and create package.json - Install dependencies: `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`, `zod@3`, and transport-specific packages - Configure TypeScript with ES modules: `"type": "module"` in package.json - Add dev dependencies: `tsx` or `ts-node` for development - Create proper .gitignore file ### Server Configuration - Use `McpServer` class for high-level implementation - Set server name and version - Choose appropriate transport (StreamableHTTPServerTransport or StdioServerTransport) - For HTTP: set up Express with proper middleware and error handling - For stdio: use StdioServerTransport directly ### Tool Implementation - Use `registerTool()` method with descriptive names - Define schemas using zod for input and output validation - Provide clear `title` and `description` fields - Return both `content` and `structuredContent` in results - Implement proper error handling with try-catch blocks - Support async operations where appropriate ### Resource/Prompt Setup (Optional) - Add resources using `registerResource()` with ResourceTemplate for dynamic URIs - Add prompts using `registerPrompt()` with argument schemas - Consider adding completion support for better UX ### Code Quality - Use TypeScript for type safety - Follow async/await patterns consistently - Implement proper cleanup on transport close events - Use environment variables for configuration - Add inline comments for complex logic - Structure code with clear separation of concerns ## Example Tool Types to Consider - Data processing and transformation - External API integrations - File system operations (read, search, analyze) - Database queries - Text analysis or summarization (with sampling) - System information retrieval ## Configuration Options - **For HTTP Servers**: - Port configuration via environment variables - CORS setup for browser clients - Session management (stateless vs stateful) - DNS rebinding protection for local servers - **For stdio Servers**: - Proper stdin/stdout handling - Environment-based configuration - Process lifecycle management ## Testing Guidance - Explain how to run the server (`npm start` or `npx tsx server.ts`) - Provide MCP Inspector command: `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector` - For HTTP servers, include connection URL: `http://localhost:PORT/mcp` - Include example tool invocations - Add troubleshooting tips for common issues ## Additional Features to Consider - Sampling support for LLM-powered tools - User input elicitation for interactive workflows - Dynamic tool registration with enable/disable capabilities - Notification debouncing for bulk updates - Resource links for efficient data references Generate a complete, production-ready MCP server with comprehensive documentation, type safety, and error handling.

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
