Step 2 of 4

Implement the server and tools

Register, validate, execute, respond - the whole job.

Prompt Capsule
Implement the MCP server. Register each tool with its schema and description; implement handlers that validate inputs server-side (even though schemas exist - defense in depth), execute the real logic, and return results as proper MCP content; convert every handler exception into a structured tool error result (never let it crash the transport); add logging of every call: tool, arguments, duration, result size or error. Choose the transport per my deployment: stdio for local host integration, HTTP/SSE-style for remote per current spec guidance. Start the server and confirm it initializes cleanly.

Quick is short. Full Build is recommended for most steps. Strict forces real logic when the AI keeps faking output.

Actual change check

Expected after this step

A running server with validated, logged, error-safe tools.

Should NOT happen

  • An existing feature broke
  • A button only logs to console
  • Data disappears after refresh
  • Errors fail silently with no visible state

This is what should exist before you continue. If reality does not match, do not move on.

Track what changed, failed, or needs follow-up. Notes export with the flow.
