# Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK Scaffold

Builds production MCP servers using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: Server class initialization, StdioServerTransport, tool registration with ListToolsRequestSchema, and CallToolRequestSchema.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- build mcp server typescript
- register mcp tool
- setup stdio transport mcp

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Initialize server with new Server({ name: 'my-mcp-server', version: '1.0.0' }, { capabilities: { tools: {} } }).
2. Handle tool listing requests by returning tools matching standard JSON Schema specifications.
3. Handle CallToolRequestSchema by validating input parameters and returning structured content blocks.
4. Connect via StdioServerTransport: const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); await server.connect(transport).

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
