MCP Script Rules

This skill defines conventions for writing scripts in the scripts/ directory, including using CLI arguments, proper tool naming with double underscores, and importing from runtime.mcp_client instead of servers/ directly. It solves the problem of inconsistent script development and parameter handling across the codebase. Developers should use it when creating or modifying scripts to ensure compatibility with the MCP tool calling system.
MCP Script Rules
When working with files in scripts/:
DO
- Use CLI arguments for all parameters (argparse)
- Include USAGE docstring at top of file
- Use
call_mcp_tool("server__tool", params)pattern - Handle errors gracefully with informative messages
- Print results to stdout for Claude to process
DON'T
- Hardcode parameters in the script
- Edit scripts to change parameters (use CLI args instead)
- Import from servers/ directly (use runtime.mcp_client)
Tool Naming
Tool IDs use double underscore: serverName__toolName
Examples:
morph__warpgrep_codebase_searchast-grep__ast_grepperplexity__perplexity_ask
Testing
Test with: uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/<script>.py --help
