Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill guides the creation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling Large Language Models (LLMs) to communicate and utilize external services via structured tools. It focuses on designing high-quality MCP servers that ensure reliable and predictable interactions between LLMs and these external resources. The resulting MCP server acts as a bridge, facilitating complex tasks by orchestrating communication and data exchange.
When to use it
- Integrating with APIs: When you need an LLM to access and utilize data or functionality from third-party APIs (e.g., weather services, database queries).
- Building custom tools: To create specialized tools for your LLM that go beyond its inherent capabilities.
- Orchestrating complex workflows: When a task requires multiple steps involving different external services and needs to be managed in a structured way.
- Ensuring predictable LLM behavior: To control how an LLM interacts with external systems, preventing unexpected or undesirable actions.
Key capabilities
- Designing high-quality MCP servers
- Enabling LLMs to interact with external services through tools
- Facilitating structured communication between LLMs and external resources
- Creating predictable interactions for reliable task completion
Example prompts
- "Guide me in building an MCP server that allows the LLM to query a database."
- "Show me how to design an MCP tool for accessing a weather API."
- "What are best practices for ensuring reliability when creating an MCP server?"
Tips & gotchas
This skill assumes familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) concepts. Careful consideration of the structure and design of your MCP tools is crucial for predictable LLM behavior and reliable integration with external services.
