Adding New Tools
Tools extend the MCP server functionality with custom operations. Follow these steps:
Choose a meaningful tool name (e.g.,
analyze_code,generate_tests,check_dependencies)Create the tool definition in
public/tools/your-tool.json:{ "id": "analyze_code_complexity", "name": "analyze_code_complexity", "description": "Analyze code complexity and suggest improvements", "input_schema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "code": { "type": "string", "description": "The code to analyze" }, "language": { "type": "string", "description": "Programming language (js, ts, py, etc.)" }, "metrics": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "string" }, "description": "Metrics to calculate (cyclomatic, cognitive, etc.)" } }, "required": ["code", "language"] } }Implement the tool logic in
src/server.tsCallToolRequestSchema handler:case "analyze_code_complexity": if (!args || typeof args.code !== "string") { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidRequest, "Code parameter is required"); } const analysis = await this.analyzeCodeComplexity(args.code, args.language); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(analysis, null, 2) } ] };Test the tool with MCP Inspector and various inputs
Tool Ideas:
validate_env_vars: Check environment variable completenessgenerate_tests: Create unit tests for given codecheck_dependencies: Analyze package.json for vulnerabilitiesformat_sql: Format and validate SQL queriesanalyze_performance: Detect performance bottlenecksgenerate_docs: Create documentation from code comments
π Quality Standards
All prompts must meet these criteria:
Effectiveness: Average rating of 4.0+ from community testing

TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but 'get_prompt_stats' and 'search_prompts' could cause mild confusion as both relate to prompts, though one is for statistics and the other for searching. The other tools target clearly different resources like skills, tools, and profiles.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, such as 'get_prompt_stats', 'list_skills', and 'search_profiles'. There are no deviations in naming conventions across the set.
With 6 tools, the count is well-scoped for a prompt server, covering statistics, listing, loading, and searching across prompts, tools, skills, and profiles. Each tool appears to serve a necessary function without bloat.
The server covers retrieval and search operations for prompts, skills, tools, and profiles, but lacks obvious CRUD operations like creating, updating, or deleting prompts or skills. This could limit agent workflows that require modification, though basic querying is supported.
