Build Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in Python (FastMCP), JavaScript, or TypeScript. Use when creating new MCP servers, adding tools/resources/prompts, configuring transports (stdio/HTTP), or debugging MCP protocol issues. Triggers on requests for MCP development, AI tool creation, or Claude Desktop integration.

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.

管理个人 SERVER.md 运维知识库。Use this skill whenever the user mentions ~/SERVER.md, SERVER.md, 服务器清单, server inventory, tailnet nodes, self-managed servers, WSL/Windows/Ubuntu host notes, or asks Claude to create, locate, update, summarize, or use a personal server runbook. It helps Claude find the canonical SERVER.md across WSL, Windows, native Ubuntu, and remote hosts; preserve progressive disclosure by splitting details into reference files; summarize local machine and managed servers without leaking secrets; and turn server notes into safe operational checklists.

asgard-ai-platformSkillasgard-ai-platform/skills/tech-mcp-server-dev/SKILL.md
Build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers including tool definition, schema design, authentication, error handling, and Claude Code integration. Use this skill when the user needs to create an MCP server, expose APIs or databases to AI agents, design tool schemas, or integrate with Claude Code — even if they say 'build an MCP server', 'connect Claude to our database', 'expose our API to AI', or 'create a tool for Claude Code'.

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.
