saschb2bSkillsaschb2b/skills/skills/engineering/mcp-server/SKILL.md
Build, extend, and maintain a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server across its whole lifecycle against the current spec and official SDKs. Covers the architecture, choosing a transport (stdio vs Streamable HTTP), writing tool definitions agents actually use, adding tools without breaking existing agents, versioning and deprecation, the security threat model (tool poisoning, token passthrough, prompt injection, OAuth), testing with the MCP Inspector, and publishing to the registry. Use when building an MCP server, exposing a CLI, API, or app to AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf), adding or reviewing MCP tools, fixing an agent that calls the wrong tool or loads too many, securing or authorizing an MCP server, migrating transports, or shipping and versioning one. Also for any new agent-tool integration where the target has a scripting API, CLI, or HTTP surface.
prizmadSkillprizmad/agent-skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md
MCP server for AI agents to create video ads via Streamable HTTP. Primary auth is OAuth 2.1 + Dynamic Client Registration (the modern Claude Desktop / Claude.ai / ChatGPT / Cursor "Connect" flow); long-lived API keys remain supported for headless clients.

michaelsvanbeekSkillmichaelsvanbeek/personal-agent-skills/skills/mcp-server/SKILL.md
MCP server design, development, and audit using the Python SDK (FastMCP). Use when: creating a new MCP server, wrapping an API as MCP tools, auditing an existing MCP server for patterns and gaps, adding auth/secrets/retry/observability to an MCP server, choosing between tools vs resources vs prompts, designing MCP resources or resource templates, creating MCP prompts for workflow bootstrapping, choosing between low-level Server and FastMCP, designing tool contracts, configuring pydantic-settings, adding structured logging, writing MCP server tests, or improving an existing MCP server codebase.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-plugins-official/plugins/mcp-server-dev/skills/build-mcp-server/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP", "make an MCP integration", "wrap an API for Claude", "expose tools to Claude", "make an MCP app", or discusses building something with the Model Context Protocol. It is the entry point for MCP server development — it interrogates the user about their use case, determines the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio), picks a tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills.
affaan-mSkillaffaan-m/ECC/.agents/skills/mcp-server-patterns/SKILL.md
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. Use when building or debugging an MCP server — tools, resources, prompts, validation, or transport choice.

Add a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to extend your toolbox with external tools
aws-samplesSkillaws-samples/sample-apex-skills/skills/eks-mcp-server/SKILL.md
Install, configure, and troubleshoot the EKS MCP Server connection in your AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro). Use ONLY for MCP server setup problems — config file location (.mcp.json), IAM permissions for eks-mcp actions, uvx installation, choosing AWS-hosted vs self-hosted mode, or debugging why MCP tools fail to appear after config. Also activate if user mentions "eks mcp", "mcp server", "mcp.json", or "mcp tools not showing". Do NOT use for actual cluster operations once MCP is working — those go to eks-recon (discovery), eks-operation-review (audits), or eks-upgrade-check (upgrades). For setting up the Arm migration MCP server used for arm64 readiness scanning, use graviton-migration, not this skill.

rittmananalyticsSkillrittmananalytics/wire-plugin/skills/dbt-mcp-server/SKILL.md
Proactive skill for setting up and configuring the dbt MCP server for use with Claude Code and Claude Desktop. Auto-activates when a user asks about connecting Claude to dbt, setting up dbt MCP, or accessing dbt Semantic Layer or Discovery API from Claude. Covers local vs remote server modes, credential handling, and Wire project setup.
OneWave-AISkillOneWave-AI/claude-skills/mcp-server-builder/SKILL.md
Use to build, wire up, or debug an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude access to an internal API, database, or SaaS tool. Trigger when the user wants Claude to connect to their own system, asks for an MCP server, needs custom tools for Claude Code or the Claude app, or an existing server's tools are not showing up.

Provides read tools (select, describe, explain, explain-analyze), write tools (insert, update, alter, create-table), and destructive tools (delete, truncate, drop-table) with built-in injection protection and elicitation on destructive operations.

MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/mcp-interactiveUI-samples/mcp-apps/zava-insurance/node/src/mcpserver/SKILL.md
Migrates an MCP server with interactive widgets from the OpenAI Apps SDK (window.openai, text/html+skybridge) to the MCP Apps standard (@modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps), covering server-side and client-side changes.
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
