description: Guide for creating high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. Use when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services

whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK).

- [ ] Tools enable complete workflows

Expose data as resources for efficient

* This server provides tools to interact with Example API

* project management

const truncatedData = data.slice(0

const data = await apiRequest(params.limit

- Return complete

│ └── constants.ts # Shared constants (API_URL

- **DO NOT use**: Old deprecated APIs such as `server.tool()`

- The `register*` methods provide better type safety

2. **Load each task instruction** and in parallel using the MCP server and tools

Remember to parallelize solving tasks to avoid running out of context

<question>Look for pull requests that modified files in the /api directory and were merged between January 1 and January 31

After understanding the API and tools

- Store API keys in environment variables

- **Return pagination metadata**: Include `has_more`

- **Python**: `{service}_mcp` (e.g.

Prioritize comprehensive API coverage. List endpoints to implement

- [🐍 Python Guide](./reference/python_mcp_server.md) - Module organization

Review the service's API documentation to identify key endpoints

- **Language**: TypeScript (high-quality SDK support and good compatibility in many execution environments e.g. MCPB. Plus AI models are good at generating TypeScript code

Agents benefit from concise tool descriptions and the ability to filter/paginate results. Design tools that return focused

Balance comprehensive API endpoint coverage with specialized workflow tools. Workflow tools can be more convenient for specific tasks
