What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to connect with external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal adapter that lets AI agents interact with your systems in a standardized, reliable way.
Instead of writing custom integration code for each AI tool, MCP provides a consistent interface. Build an MCP server once, and it works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and any other MCP-compatible client.
Why MCP Matters:
- Standardization — One integration works across multiple AI clients
- Security — Controlled access to your data and APIs
- Extensibility — Add new capabilities to AI assistants without waiting for vendor support
- Future-proof — Open protocol backed by Anthropic and growing ecosystem
MCP Development Services
Custom MCP Server Development — I build production-ready MCP servers tailored to your needs. Whether it's connecting AI to your internal APIs, databases, SaaS tools, or custom data sources, I create robust servers with proper error handling, authentication, and documentation.
API Integration — Connect AI assistants to external services like CRMs, project management tools, analytics platforms, or any REST/GraphQL API. I handle authentication flows, rate limiting, and data transformation to ensure reliable integration.
Data Source Connectors — Give AI assistants access to your databases, knowledge bases, or document repositories. I implement secure, efficient querying with proper access controls and caching strategies.
Tool Chain Development — Build sophisticated tool chains that combine multiple operations into cohesive workflows. For example, a server that can search documentation, analyze code, and generate implementation suggestions in a single query.
Open Source Contributions — Need an MCP server for a popular service? I can develop and open source it, benefiting the entire MCP community while meeting your needs.
Example Use Cases
Development Tools:
- GitHub integration for PR reviews, issue management, code search
- GitLab/Bitbucket connectors for self-hosted version control
- CI/CD pipeline integration for build status and deployment info
- Documentation search across internal wikis and knowledge bases
Business Systems:
- CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot, custom systems)
- Project management (Jira, Linear, Asana, custom tools)
- Analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, custom dashboards)
- Customer support systems (Zendesk, Intercom, help desks)
Data & Content:
- Database query interfaces with secure access controls
- Content management systems (WordPress, Contentful, custom CMSs)
- Document repositories (SharePoint, Google Drive, internal storage)
- Search engines and knowledge graphs
Specialized Domains:
- Financial data APIs and market information
- Healthcare systems with HIPAA compliance
- Educational platforms and learning management systems
- E-commerce platforms and inventory systems
Development Process
1. Requirements Gathering — We define the tools, resources, and prompts your MCP server needs to provide. I'll help you think through authentication, permissions, and error handling requirements.
2. Architecture Design — I design the server architecture, choosing between TypeScript or Python implementation based on your needs. For complex integrations, I create a technical design document for review.
3. Implementation — I build the MCP server with clean, maintainable code, comprehensive error handling, and full TypeScript typing (or Python type hints). All servers include logging and debugging capabilities.
4. Testing & Documentation — Thorough testing with real AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) ensures reliability. Complete documentation covers installation, configuration, and usage examples.
5. Deployment Support — I provide guidance on deployment options (local, npx, Docker) and help integrate the server into your team's workflow.
