SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires mcp, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? It prevents fake MCP demos where an in-process function call is dressed up as MCP, ensuring projects use a genuine MCP client talking to an MCP server over an actual transport with capability negotiation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode A — Build server and client: Scaffolds two separate runnable processes (mcp_server.py and mcp_client.py) using the Python mcp SDK over stdio transport, with a spike-first round-trip verification. - Mode B — Connect to an existing public MCP server: Writes only client code that spawns or connects to a third-party MCP server (via npx/uvx stdio or hosted SSE/HTTP endpoint), including handling of the underlying service's real credentials. - Use Case: A project brief calls for an MCP integration lab. The skill fetches current MCP SDK docs, adapts the bundled reference server and client, runs them as two separate processes, and verifies a tool call round-trips client -> server -> client before wiring into the backend. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to build a real MCP integration for the current project, choosing Mode A to create both server and client or Mode B to connect to an existing public MCP server.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a real MCP server and client in Python?▼

Use the Python mcp package to define a Server with list_tools and call_tool handlers, run it over stdio_server, then connect with ClientSession via stdio_client. Run them as two separate processes and confirm a tool call round-trips before integrating further.

How do I connect an MCP client to an existing public MCP server?▼

Identify the server's transport from its own docs: for stdio servers launched via npx or uvx, spawn it as a subprocess with StdioServerParameters; for hosted SSE/HTTP endpoints, connect to the URL with any required token. Write only client code, never a duplicate server.

What is the difference between stdio and SSE transport in MCP?▼

Stdio transport runs the MCP server as a local subprocess communicating over standard input/output, while SSE connects to a hosted HTTP endpoint. The skill supports both, choosing based on how the target server is distributed.

Does an MCP server still need API keys for the underlying service?▼

Yes. A public MCP server wrapping another service still requires that service's credentials, such as a GitHub or Slack token. These are real secrets handled through .env configuration, and missing keys are a hard stop.

Why is an in-process function call not a real MCP integration?▼

A real MCP integration requires a client and server as separate processes communicating over an actual transport with capability negotiation. One Python function calling another in-process skips the protocol entirely and does not satisfy MCP requirements.
