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:
- What actions does the user want to perform?
- What API endpoints are available?
- Which operations are read-only vs destructive?
- How should errors be handled?
Phase 2: Implementation
Project Setup (TypeScript):
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:
Testing with MCP Inspector:
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)
