MCP Server Development Protocol
⚠️ CRITICAL: DO NOT USE attempt_completion BEFORE TESTING ⚠️
Step 1: Planning (PLAN MODE)
- What problem does this tool solve?
- What API/service will it use?
- What are the authentication requirements? □ Standard API key □ OAuth (requires separate setup script) □ Other credentials
Step 2: Implementation (ACT MODE)
-
Bootstrap
- For web services, JavaScript integration, or Node.js environments:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/create-server my-server cd my-server npm install
- For data science, ML workflows, or Python environments:
pip install mcp # Or with uv (recommended) uv add "mcp[cli]"
- For web services, JavaScript integration, or Node.js environments:
-
Core Implementation
- Use MCP SDK
- Implement comprehensive logging
- TypeScript (for web/JS projects):
console.error('[Setup] Initializing server...'); console.error('[API] Request to endpoint:', endpoint); console.error('[Error] Failed with:', error);
- Python (for data science/ML projects):
import logging logging.error('[Setup] Initializing server...') logging.error(f'[API] Request to endpoint: {endpoint}') logging.error(f'[Error] Failed with: {str(error)}')
- TypeScript (for web/JS projects):
- Add type definitions
- Handle errors with context
- Implement rate limiting if needed
-
Configuration
- Get credentials from user if needed
- Add to MCP settings:
- For TypeScript projects:
{ "mcpServers": { "my-server": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/build/index.js"], "env": { "API_KEY": "key" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }
- For Python projects:
# Directly with command line mcp install server.py -v API_KEY=key # Or in settings.json { "mcpServers": { "my-server": { "command": "python", "args": ["server.py"], "env": { "API_KEY": "key" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }
- For TypeScript projects:
Step 3: Testing (BLOCKER ⛔️)
If ANY answer is "no", I MUST NOT use attempt_completion.
- Test Each Tool (REQUIRED) □ Test each tool with valid inputs □ Verify output format is correct ⚠️ DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL ALL TOOLS TESTED
Step 4: Completion
❗ STOP AND VERIFY: □ Every tool has been tested with valid inputs □ Output format is correct for each tool
Only after ALL tools have been tested can attempt_completion be used.
Key Requirements
-
✓ Must use MCP SDK
-
✓ Must have comprehensive logging
-
✓ Must test each tool individually
-
✓ Must handle errors gracefully
-
⛔️ NEVER skip testing before completion
