MCP Builder is one of the example skills in Anthropic's skills repository. Its SKILL.md describes a guide for creating high-quality MCP servers that let models use external services through well-designed tools, in Python with FastMCP or in Node and TypeScript with the MCP SDK. It follows four phases that start with research and planning, and advises on tool naming, context management and balancing API coverage against workflow tools. The folder holds a reference directory and scripts. The draft lists /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills as the install route, and the folder's LICENSE.txt is Apache 2.0, though other skills in the same repository use different terms. The repository was last pushed on 28 October 2026. It suits developers building their first MCP server with an agent. A limit is that it gives guidance rather than a generator, so you still write and test the server. We have not run it ourselves for this note.
