What This Skill Does

Provides production-ready patterns for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with TypeScript on Cloudflare Workers, using the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. Prevents 10+ common errors including export syntax issues, schema validation failures, memory leaks, CORS misconfigurations, and authentication vulnerabilities.

Core Capabilities

✅ Complete templates for basic, tool-only, resource-only, authenticated, and full MCP servers ✅ Error prevention for 10+ documented production issues with GitHub issue sources ✅ Authentication patterns for API keys, OAuth 2.0, Zero Trust, and JWT ✅ Cloudflare integrations for D1, KV, R2, Vectorize, Workers AI, and Queues ✅ Testing strategies including unit tests, MCP Inspector, and E2E testing ✅ Deployment workflows with Wrangler, CI/CD, and multi-environment support ✅ Reference documentation for tool patterns, auth, testing, deployment, and integrations ✅ Package versions verified current as of 2025-10-28

Known Issues This Skill Prevents

Issue	Why It Happens	Source	How Skill Fixes It
Export syntax error	Object wrapper breaks Vite build	honojs/hono#3955	Template uses direct export
Memory leaks	Unclosed transport connections	MCP SDK best practices	Always closes transport on response end
Schema validation failure	Zod schemas not converted properly	modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1028	Uses SDK auto-conversion
Tool arguments undefined	Type mismatch between schema and handler	modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1026	Uses z.infer for type safety
CORS misconfiguration	Missing headers for browser clients	Common production issue	Includes CORS middleware setup
Missing rate limiting	No protection against API abuse	Security best practice	Provides rate limiting patterns
TypeScript OOM	Large SDK dependency tree	modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#985	Increases Node.js memory in build scripts
ReDoS vulnerability	Regex in URI template parsing	modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#965	Requires SDK v1.20.2+
Authentication bypass	No auth implemented	Security best practice	Provides 5 authentication methods
Env variable leakage	Secrets logged or returned	Cloudflare best practice	Never logs env objects

When to Use This Skill

✅ Use When:

• Building MCP servers to expose APIs, tools, or data to LLMs
• Deploying serverless MCP endpoints on Cloudflare Workers
• Integrating external APIs as MCP tools (REST, GraphQL, databases)
• Creating stateless MCP servers for edge deployment
• Exposing Cloudflare services (D1, KV, R2, Vectorize) via MCP protocol
• Implementing authenticated MCP servers with API keys, OAuth, or Zero Trust
• Building multi-tool MCP servers with resources and prompts
• Needing production-ready templates that prevent common MCP errors

❌ Don't Use When:

• Building Python MCP servers (use FastMCP skill instead)
• Needing stateful agents with WebSockets (use Cloudflare Agents SDK)
• Wanting long-running persistent agents with SQLite storage (use Durable Objects)
• Building local CLI tools (use stdio transport, not HTTP)

---

Quick Usage Example

# Use the init script to create a new MCP server
cd ~/.claude/skills/typescript-mcp/scripts
./init-mcp-server.sh my-mcp-server

# Select template (1-5)
# Script creates project with:
# - package.json with all dependencies
# - src/index.ts with selected template
# - wrangler.jsonc configuration
# - tsconfig.json, .gitignore, README

# Navigate to project
cd my-mcp-server

# Run locally
npm run dev

# Test with MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
# Connect to: http://localhost:8787/mcp

# Deploy to Cloudflare
npm run deploy

Result: Production-ready MCP server with zero errors, proper authentication, and all best practices implemented.
