# IMPORTANT: How to Use This Skill

This file provides a NAVIGATION GUIDE ONLY. Before implementing any MCP server features, you MUST:

1. Read this overview to understand which reference files are relevant
2. **ALWAYS read the specific reference file(s)** for the features you're implementing
3. Apply the detailed patterns from those files to your implementation

**Do NOT rely solely on the quick reference examples in this file** - they are minimal examples only. The reference files contain critical best practices, security considerations, and advanced patterns.

Frequently asked questions

How do I determine if I am already in an mcp-use project?

Check the workspace for a package.json that lists mcp-use as a dependency or any .ts file that imports from mcp-use/server.

Can I manually create the MCPServer boilerplate?

No. The CLI handles TypeScript configuration, dev scripts, inspector integration, and widget compilation.

How do I verify a tool or widget without the inspector UI?

Use the mcp-use client command to connect to the server and execute tools or capture screenshots of widgets from the terminal.
