# MCP Server Development Guide ## When to Use Use this skill when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services, whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK). ## Overview Create MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks. --- ## Microsoft MCP Ecosystem Microsoft provides extensive MCP infrastructure for Azure and Foundry services. Understanding this ecosystem helps you decide whether to build custom servers or leverage existing ones. ### Server Types | Type | Transport | Use Case | Example | |------|-----------|----------|---------| | **Local** | stdio | Desktop apps, single-user, local dev | Azure MCP Server via NPM/Docker | | **Remote** | Streamable HTTP | Cloud services, multi-tenant, Agent Service | `https://mcp.ai.azure.com` (Foundry) | ### Microsoft MCP Servers Before building a custom server, check if Microsoft already provides one: | Server | Type | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | **Azure MCP** | Local | 48+ Azure services (Storage, KeyVault, Cosmos, SQL, etc.)

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill mcp-builder-ms --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
