MCPEngine Skills

These are agent skills (SKILL.md files) that guide AI agents through the MCP development pipeline. Each skill encodes the exact process, patterns, and standards for a specific phase of MCP server/app development.

These are the "secret sauce" — the encoded knowledge that lets agents build production-quality MCP servers autonomously.


Pipeline Skills (in order)

# Skill Size Purpose
1 mcp-api-analyzer 43KB Analyze API docs → structured analysis doc. Always the FIRST step.
2 mcp-server-builder 88KB Build a complete MCP server from the analysis doc. Every pattern and template.
3 mcp-server-development 31KB TypeScript MCP server patterns, best practices, error handling.
4 mcp-app-designer 85KB Design and build visual HTML apps for each MCP server.
5 mcp-apps-integration 20KB Add rich UI (structuredContent) to MCP tool results.
6 mcp-apps-official 48KB Official MCP Apps SDK patterns and host integration.
7 mcp-apps-merged 39KB Combined/merged MCP Apps reference.
8 mcp-localbosses-integrator 61KB Wire MCP servers + apps into LocalBosses Next.js app.
9 mcp-qa-tester 113KB Full QA framework — protocol, visual, functional, live API testing.
10 mcp-deployment 17KB Package and deploy — Docker, Railway, GitHub, production.

Utility Skills

Skill Purpose
mcp-skill Exa MCP integration (web search, deep research)

How agents use these

  1. Agent receives task (e.g., "build a Stripe MCP server")
  2. Agent reads mcp-api-analyzer/SKILL.md → produces analysis doc
  3. Agent reads mcp-server-builder/SKILL.md → builds the server
  4. Agent reads mcp-app-designer/SKILL.md → builds UI apps
  5. Agent reads mcp-qa-tester/SKILL.md → runs full test suite
  6. Agent reads mcp-deployment/SKILL.md → packages for production

Each skill is self-contained — an agent can pick up any step independently.
