Building MCP Servers — Model Context Protocol Development

Give any LLM secure, typed access to your tools and data.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming the standard way to connect LLMs to real systems — databases, APIs, file systems, and internal tools. I build production MCP servers that expose your capabilities to Claude and other MCP-compatible clients with proper authentication, typed schemas, and observability, so your AI can actually do work instead of just talking about it.

What a production MCP server needs

An MCP server is the bridge between an LLM and your real infrastructure, which makes correctness and security non-negotiable. I build servers that are typed, authenticated, and observable from the first commit.

  • Well-typed tools, resources, and prompts following the MCP spec
  • Authentication, authorization, and per-tool access scoping
  • Connections to databases, REST/GraphQL APIs, and internal services
  • Input validation and safe execution boundaries
  • Logging, tracing, and error handling for production reliability
  • Deployment as local (stdio) or remote (HTTP/SSE) servers

How I build and integrate your MCP server

I map the actions your AI needs to perform, design clean tool schemas around them, and implement each with validation and guardrails. The server is tested against real MCP clients like Claude Desktop and Claude Code, then deployed and documented so your team can extend it.

Frequently asked questions

What is an MCP server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes tools, resources, and prompts to LLM applications through an open standard. It lets clients like Claude Desktop or Claude Code securely call your databases, APIs, and internal systems, so the model can take real actions instead of only generating text.

Why build a custom MCP server instead of a plugin?

A custom MCP server works across any MCP-compatible client, gives you full control over authentication and access scoping, and integrates directly with your own infrastructure. You build the integration once and reuse it with Claude and future MCP clients.

Can an MCP server connect to my private database?

Yes. I build MCP servers that connect to private databases and internal APIs with proper authentication, per-tool access control, and input validation, so the LLM can query and act on your data safely within defined boundaries.
