File contents

Use this skill when a team wants to expose external capabilities through an MCP server.

Plan in this order:

  • define the user tasks the MCP server must unlock
  • choose the smallest useful tool surface before chasing endpoint completeness
  • specify auth, secret handling, and least-privilege expectations
  • design tool schemas and output shape for discoverability and safe automation
  • define evaluation cases that prove the server is useful for real agent tasks

Deliver:

  • candidate tools and responsibilities
  • auth and secret-handling model
  • failure and retry expectations
  • evaluation plan
  • rollout notes and open risks

Avoid:

  • exposing raw API coverage without task-level value
  • hiding side effects behind vague tool descriptions
  • skipping evaluation until after implementation
