Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning (+3)

Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning

Study MCP Design Principles:

  • Balance "API coverage vs. workflow tools"
  • Review MCP protocol at modelcontextprotocol.io
  • Learn framework specifics (TypeScript recommended)
  • Analyze target API endpoints

Key Questions:

  1. What actions does the user want to perform?
  2. What API endpoints are available?
  3. Which operations are read-only vs destructive?
  4. How should errors be handled?

Phase 2: Implementation

Project Setup (TypeScript):

bash
mkdir my-mcp-server
cd my-mcp-server
npm init -y
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk zod
npm install -D typescript @types/node

tsconfig.json:

See sub-skills for full details.

Phase 3: Review and Test

Code Quality Checklist:

  • No code duplication
  • Full type coverage
  • Proper error handling
  • Input validation
  • Rate limiting (if needed)

Testing with MCP Inspector:

bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js

Phase 4: Create Evaluations

Generate 10 complex, realistic test questions:

  • Independent (no dependencies between questions)
  • Read-only (don't modify external state)
  • Verifiable (clear expected answers)
