This guide helps you build MCP servers. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. These servers let AI models talk to outside services like APIs. You can use Python or Node/TypeScript. The goal is to create tools that make AI more useful.
Good MCP servers focus on workflows, not just single API calls. They give back only the most important information. Error messages should help the AI learn and fix mistakes. Tool names should be clear and natural for humans to understand.
Follow the four phases: research and plan, design tools for agents, study the MCP protocol, and learn the API docs. This skill makes it easy to build high-quality MCP servers that connect AI to real-world tasks.
