Routes MSP protocol questions to specialized surfaces covering JSON-RPC framing, client/server roles, transports (stdio/HTTP/SSE), and core primitives (tools, resources, prompts, sampling, roots, completion). Includes TypeScript and Python SDK references.

This skill is auto-updated daily. A pipeline reads the upstream docs and rewrites the per-surface files below. Section structure is stable; content drifts to track upstream.
| Surface file | Read when the user asks about… |
|---|---|
SKILL-protocol.md | JSON-RPC framing, the initialize handshake, capability negotiation, lifecycle, error codes, versioning |
SKILL-clients.md | implementing an MCP client, calling tools, reading resources, the client-side of sampling |
SKILL-servers.md | implementing an MCP server in TypeScript or Python, server-side capability advertisement, server lifecycle |
SKILL-transport.md | stdio transport, streamable HTTP transport, SSE transport (legacy), choosing a transport |
SKILL-tools-resources-prompts.md | defining tools (input schema, output schema), defining resources (URI templates, MIME types), defining prompts, sampling, roots, completion |
