{server_name} Skill

name: {server_name} description: Dynamic access to {server_name} MCP server ({tool_count} tools) version: 1.0.0

{server_name} Skill

This skill provides dynamic access to the {server_name} MCP server without loading all tool definitions into context.

Context Efficiency

Traditional MCP approach:

• All {tool_count} tools loaded at startup
• Estimated context: {estimated_tokens} tokens

This skill approach:

• Metadata only: ~100 tokens
• Full instructions (when used): ~5k tokens
• Tool execution: 0 tokens (runs externally)

How This Works

Instead of loading all MCP tool definitions upfront, this skill:

1. Tells you what tools are available (just names and brief descriptions)
2. You decide which tool to call based on the user's request
3. Generate a JSON command to invoke the tool
4. The executor handles the actual MCP communication

Available Tools

{tool_list}

Usage Pattern

When the user's request matches this skill's capabilities:

Step 1: Identify the right tool from the list above

Step 2: ALWAYS get tool details first to obtain correct parameter names and types:

cd $SKILL_DIR
python executor.py --describe tool_name

This loads ONLY that tool's schema, not all tools.

Step 3: Generate a tool call using the exact parameter names from Step 2:

{{
  "tool": "tool_name",
  "arguments": {{
    "param1": "value1",
    "param2": "value2"
  }}
}}

Step 4: Execute via bash:

cd $SKILL_DIR
python executor.py --call 'YOUR_JSON_HERE'

IMPORTANT: Replace $SKILL_DIR with the actual discovered path of this skill directory.

Important Note

You MUST use --describe before calling any tool to get the correct parameter names and types. Do not guess parameter names as this will result in errors.

Examples

Example 1: Complete workflow

User: "Use {server_name} to do X"

Your workflow:

1. Identify tool: {first_tool_name}
2. Get tool details: python executor.py --describe {first_tool_name}
3. Generate call JSON using exact parameter names from Step 2
4. Execute:

cd $SKILL_DIR
python executor.py --call '{{"tool": "{first_tool_name}", "arguments": {{"param1": "value"}}}}'

Example 2: Tool details output

cd $SKILL_DIR
python executor.py --describe {first_tool_name}

Returns the full schema with parameter names, types, and requirements.

Error Handling

If the executor returns an error:

• Check the tool name is correct
• Verify you used --describe to get the exact parameter names
• Ensure all required arguments are provided
• Check that parameter types match what's expected
• Ensure the MCP server is accessible

Common error: "Invalid arguments for tool" - This usually means you used an incorrect parameter name. Always run --describe first to get the correct parameter names.
