Does it include configuration examples for Claude Desktop?

Yes, it includes JSON configuration templates for both standard Python environments and recommended setups using the 'uv' package manager.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that allows AI models like Claude to securely connect to external data sources and tools, providing them with real-world context.

Can I implement persistent storage with these patterns?

Absolutely, the skill includes specific patterns for state management using SQLite caching and persistent storage.

Does this skill support both Python and JavaScript?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns and project layouts for Python 3.10+ and Node.js 18+ environments.

How do I add a new tool to my MCP server?

The skill provides patterns for using the @app.list_tools() and @app.call_tool() decorators to define schemas and handle execution logic.

API Development

Streamlines the development of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with standardized implementation patterns and best practices.

About

The MCP Patterns skill provides a comprehensive library of architectural templates and code snippets for building robust Model Context Protocol integrations with Claude Code. It offers developers ready-to-use patterns for tool registration, input validation, and resource handling in both Python and Node.js environments. By centralizing best practices for authentication, state management, and error handling, this skill helps developers create secure, performant, and reliable MCP servers that extend Claude's capabilities with custom external data and tools.

Key Features

Ready-to-use Python and Node.js boilerplate for MCP server initialization
Pre-configured templates for static and dynamic resource exposure
Advanced state management patterns using SQLite persistence or in-memory caching
Standardized patterns for tool validation, input sanitization, and error handling
Implementation guides for environment-based authentication and OAuth flows
4 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Building custom database connectors for Claude to query internal data schemas
Implementing secure API integrations with automated token refresh and TTL logic
Creating local development tools that expose system metrics or file systems to Claude
