Build MCP servers with Node/TypeScript SDK — tools, resources, prompts, Zod validation, stdio vs Streamable HTTP. Use Context7 or official MCP docs for latest API.
Instinct-based learning system that observes sessions via hooks, creates atomic instincts with confidence scoring, and evolves them into skills/commands/agents. v2.1 adds project-scoped instincts to prevent cross-project contamination.
Orchestrate building a brand-new feature end to end — research, plan, TDD implementation, review, and gated commit — by delegating each phase to the matching ECC agent. Use when adding a capability that does not exist yet.
Orchestrate bootstrapping a working MVP from a design or spec document — ingest the doc, plan thin vertical slices, scaffold the first end-to-end slice, then TDD-implement, review, and gated commit. Use to turn an SDD/PRD into a running starting point.
Orchestrate altering an existing, working feature to new desired behavior — update its tests to the new spec, change the implementation to match, review, and gated commit. Use when behavior is not broken but should be different.
Orchestrate fixing a bug — reproduce it as a failing regression test, fix to green, review, and gated commit — by delegating each phase to the matching ECC agent. Use when existing behavior is broken or wrong.
Shared orchestration engine for the orch-* skill family. Defines the gated Research-Plan-TDD-Review-Commit pipeline, the size classifier, the agent map, and the two human gates that the orch-* operation skills delegate to. Not usually invoked directly.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants call tools, read resources, and use prompts from your server. Use this skill when building or maintaining MCP servers. The SDK API evolves; check Context7 (query-docs for "MCP") or the official MCP documentation for current method names and signatures.
Use when: implementing a new MCP server, adding tools or resources, choosing stdio vs HTTP, upgrading the SDK, or debugging MCP registration and transport issues.
registerTool() or tool() depending on SDK version.registerResource() or resource(). Handlers typically receive a uri argument.registerPrompt() or equivalent.The Node/TypeScript SDK may expose tool() / resource() or registerTool() / registerResource(); the official SDK has changed over time. Always verify against the current MCP docs or Context7.
For local clients, create a stdio transport and pass it to your server’s connect method. The exact API varies by SDK version (e.g. constructor vs factory). See the official MCP documentation or query Context7 for "MCP stdio server" for the current pattern.
Keep server logic (tools + resources) independent of transport so you can plug in stdio or HTTP in the entrypoint.
For Cursor, cloud, or other remote clients, use Streamable HTTP (single MCP HTTP endpoint per current spec). Support legacy HTTP/SSE only when backward compatibility is required.
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk zod
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { z } from "zod";
const server = new McpServer({ name: "my-server", version: "1.0.0" });
Register tools and resources using the API your SDK version provides: some versions use server.tool(name, description, schema, handler) (positional args), others use server.tool({ name, description, inputSchema }, handler) or registerTool(). Same for resources — include a uri in the handler when the API provides it. Check the official MCP docs or Context7 for the current @modelcontextprotocol/sdk signatures to avoid copy-paste errors.
Use Zod (or the SDK’s preferred schema format) for input validation.
