Description
mcp-server-patterns is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It sets out how to build Model Context Protocol servers with the Node and TypeScript SDK. It explains the three core concepts: tools, which are actions the model can invoke, resources, which are read-only data the model can fetch, and prompts, which are reusable templates the client can surface. It covers Zod validation for inputs, and the choice of transport: stdio for local clients, and Streamable HTTP for remote ones, with legacy HTTP and SSE kept for backward compatibility. The skill applies when implementing a new MCP server, adding tools or resources, choosing between stdio and HTTP, upgrading the SDK, or debugging registration and transport problems. Because the SDK API changes, the listing tells the agent to check current method names through Context7 or the official MCP documentation. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows all three security audits passing.…
