What problem does it solve? Building a Model Context Protocol server from scratch involves boilerplate, unclear tool design, and uncertain validation steps. This Skill provides ready-made FastMCP templates, a scaffolding script, and a CLI-driven workflow so you can create, test, install, and deploy MCP servers without guesswork. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Starter Templates: Three production-shaped templates cover the most common server types: REST API wrappers with auth headers, read-only SQLite database servers, and text-file inspection servers. - Scaffolding Script: The scaffold_fastmcp.py script copies a template and injects your server name, producing a working Python file in one command. - CLI Validation Workflow: Guides you through fastmcp inspect, fastmcp list, and fastmcp call to verify every tool before installing into Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or deploying over HTTP. - Use Case: You need to expose your company's internal REST API to an AI assistant. Scaffold the API wrapper template, implement two or three typed tools, validate them with the FastMCP CLI, then install the server into your MCP client. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to scaffold a new FastMCP server from the API wrapper template named after your service and validate it with the FastMCP CLI.
