build-mcp
From the author
Build an MCP server end to end, tailored to how it will be used. Use when asked to build an MCP, create an MCP server, wrap an API as a tool, make a tool for Claude, expose a service to an agent, build a Claude connector, or turn a service into MCP tools. Asks up front who the server is for (just me, my org, or public) and what it wraps, then walks through analyze, build, deploy, scale, and distribute with steps tailored to that answer. Builds on the example-skills:mcp-builder skill for implementation depth.

- build-mcp-serverthevibeworks/claude-code-docsThis 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.DevOps★ 160
- mcp-server-builderOneWave-AI/claude-skillsUse 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.Data★ 372
- build-mcp-appthevibeworks/claude-code-docsThis skill should be used when the user wants to build an "MCP app", add "interactive UI" or "widgets" to an MCP server, "render components in chat", build "MCP UI resources", make a tool that shows a "form", "picker", "dashboard" or "confirmation dialog" inline in the conversation, or mentions "apps SDK" in the context of MCP. Use AFTER the build-mcp-server skill has settled the deployment model, or when the user already knows they want UI widgets.DevOps★ 160
- build-plugintechwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkitBundle skills, hooks, agents, or an MCP server into one installable Claude Code plugin and ship it. Use when asked to bundle tools into one plugin, package tools for a colleague, publish a plugin to a marketplace, share my tools with my team, or ship a plugin. Asks who it's for and where it's hosted, then walks analyze, assemble, ship, and maintain, tailored to that answer. Sibling to build-mcp.Engineering★ 137
