SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Connecting LLMs to external data sources and APIs requires correctly implementing MCP servers, configuring clients, and handling authentication, which is error-prone without a structured workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - MCP Server Implementation: Build custom MCP servers in TypeScript or Python with properly defined tool schemas and resource definitions. - Client Configuration: Configure MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor, including OAuth setup for services like Linear and GitHub. - Troubleshooting: Diagnose MCP connection, authentication, and token refresh issues with a structured testing workflow. - Use Case: You want Claude Desktop to create and list Linear issues. Use this Skill to build a Linear MCP server, configure OAuth, register it in the client config, and verify the tools respond correctly. ## Quick Start Create an MCP server that integrates the Linear API with tools for creating and listing issues, then configure it in Claude Desktop.

Frequently Asked Questions about mcp-integration

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a custom MCP server for an API?▼

Define your tools with input schemas following the MCP specification, implement request handlers using the MCP SDK in TypeScript or Python, and register the server in your client configuration. Store API keys in environment variables rather than hardcoding them.

How do I configure an MCP server in Claude Desktop?▼

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers with the command, args, and env fields pointing to your server script and credentials. Restart the client, then verify the connection by invoking one of the exposed tools.

Does Linear MCP integration require OAuth or an API key?▼

Linear MCP integration requires a proper OAuth flow, not just an API key. You must implement token refresh handling since OAuth tokens expire, and verify access before assuming the integration works.

Why is my MCP server not connecting to the client?▼

Connection failures usually stem from incorrect client configuration paths, missing environment variables, or expired OAuth tokens. Test the server independently first, then check the client config JSON and authentication logs.

What are common mistakes when designing MCP tool schemas?▼

Common mistakes include schemas that do not follow the MCP specification, missing input validation, and no error handling for API failures. Always validate parameters before external calls and test error cases and edge conditions.
