DEPRECATED: This skill has been replaced by `mcp-app-builder`. Check if `mcp-app-builder` is available in the skills folder. If not, install it: `npx skills install mcp-use/mcp-use --skill mcp-app-builder` Use `mcp-app-builder` instead of this skill. Build Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with mcp-use framework. Use when creating MCP servers, defining tools/resources/prompts, working with mcp-use, bootstrapping MCP projects, or when user mentions MCP development, tools, resources, or prompts.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific commands and patterns for building MCP servers using the mcp-use framework that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
MCP Server Builder Build production-ready MCP servers with tools, resources, prompts, and interactive widgets using mcp-use. Before You Code Decompose user requests into tools, widgets, and resources. Decide what needs UI vs text. Read design-and-architecture.md: when planning what to build, deciding tool vs widget, or designing UX flows. Implementation Tools, resources, prompts → tools-and-resources.md: when writing server-side server.tool(), server.resource(), server.prompt() code Visual widgets (React TSX) → widgets.md: when creating interactive UI widgets in resources/ folder Response helper API → response-helpers.md: when choosing how to format tool/resource return values URI template patterns → resource-templates.md: when defining parameterized resources Quick Reference Response helpers: text(), object(), markdown(), html(), image(), audio(), binary(), error(), mix(), widget() Server methods: server.tool(), server.resource(), server.resourceTemplate(), server.prompt(), server.listen()
