building-mcp-servers

I came across your MCP servers skill and appreciated how you're tackling the server-client abstraction—it's a pattern that doesn't get enough attention in most tutorials, but your approach to it seems practical rather than theoretical.

The TL;DR

You're at 80/100, solidly in B territory. This is based on Anthropic's skill evaluation framework. Your strongest area is Ease of Use (22/25)—the metadata and discoverability are solid—but you're losing points in Progressive Disclosure Architecture (24/30) because your main file includes implementation details that belong in references, and Utility (17/20) because SKILL.md lacks any inline code examples.

What's Working Well

• Clear metadata with good triggers: Your description nails the use cases ("MCP servers", "FastMCP", "Python", "TypeScript") and the NOT-when clause prevents misuse—that's the kind of specificity that helps users know if this is for them
• Solid reference structure: Five focused reference files covering task patterns, best practices, Python/Node examples, and evaluation—no nested subdirectories, which keeps navigation flat and efficient
• Practical workflow phases: Four clear phases from planning to deployment show you understand the actual development lifecycle, not just the theory

The Big One: Missing TOC and Inline Examples

Your SKILL.md is 192 lines but has no table of contents, making navigation harder than it needs to be. More importantly, you've got great examples buried in the references but none in the main file. When someone loads this skill, they see workflow descriptions but zero code samples—that's a usability gap.

Fix: Add a TOC at the top (## Table of Contents with anchor...
