What This Skill Does
A guide for building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that let LLMs interact with external APIs and services. Covers Python (FastMCP), TypeScript (MCP SDK), and C#/.NET (Microsoft MCP SDK), with detailed phases for research, implementation, testing, and evaluation. Also maps the existing Microsoft MCP ecosystem so you know when to build custom vs. reuse. Without this guide, teams repeatedly rediscover the same MCP pitfalls around transport selection, tool naming conventions, and auth patterns — this consolidates those decisions into a single reference with language-specific examples.
