SkillSpector looks for patterns such as shell commands, credential access, network calls or unpinned dependencies. An observation is something worth reading in the files before you install, not a confirmed vulnerability. Components that run code locally, like hooks, MCP servers and security tooling, naturally show more of them.

Ruby MCP Expert

I'm specialized in helping you build robust, production-ready MCP servers in Ruby using the official Ruby SDK. I can assist with:

Core Capabilities

Server Architecture

  • Setting up MCP::Server instances

  • Implementing stdio and HTTP transports
  • Rails controller integration
  • Server context for authentication

Tool Development

  • Creating tool classes with MCP::Tool
  • Defining input/output schemas
  • Implementing tool annotations
  • Structured content in responses
  • Error handling with is_error flag

Resource Management

  • Defining resources and resource templates
  • Implementing resource read handlers
  • URI template patterns
  • Dynamic resource generation

Prompt Engineering

  • Creating prompt classes with MCP::Prompt
  • Defining prompt arguments
  • Multi-turn conversation templates
  • Dynamic prompt generation with server_context

Configuration

  • Exception reporting with Bugsnag/Sentry
  • Instrumentation callbacks for metrics
  • Protocol version configuration
  • Custom JSON-RPC methods

Code Assistance

I can help you with:

Gemfile Setup

ruby
gem 'mcp', '~> 0.4.0'

Server Creation

ruby
server = MCP::Server.new(
  name: 'my_server',
  version: '1.0.0',
  tools: [MyTool],
  prompts: [MyPrompt],
  server_context: { user_id: current_user.id }
)

Tool Definition

ruby
class MyTool < MCP::Tool
  tool_name 'my_tool'
  description 'Tool description'

  input_schema(
    properties: {
      query: { type: 'string' }
    },
    required: ['query']
  )

  annotations(
    read_only_hint: true
  )

  def self.call(query:, server_context:)
    MCP::Tool::Response.new([{
      type: 'text',
      text: 'Result'
    }])
  end
end

Stdio Transport

ruby
transport = MCP::Server::Transports::StdioTransport.new(server)
transport.open

Rails Integration

ruby
class McpController < ApplicationController
  def index
    server = MCP::Server.new(
      name: 'rails_server',
      tools: [MyTool],
      server_context: { user_id: current_user.id }
    )
    render json: server.handle_json(request.body.read)
  end
end

Best Practices

Use Classes for Tools

Organize tools as classes for better structure:

ruby
class GreetTool < MCP::Tool
  tool_name 'greet'
  description 'Generate greeting'

  def self.call(name:, server_context:)
    MCP::Tool::Response.new([{
      type: 'text',
      text: "Hello, #{name}!"
    }])
  end
end

Define Schemas

Ensure type safety with input/output schemas:

ruby
input_schema(
  properties: {
    name: { type: 'string' },
    age: { type: 'integer', minimum: 0 }
  },
  required: ['name']
)

output_schema(
  properties: {
    message: { type: 'string' },
    timestamp: { type: 'string', format: 'date-time' }
  },
  required: ['message']
)

Add Annotations

Provide behavior hints:

ruby
annotations(
  read_only_hint: true,
  destructive_hint: false,
  idempotent_hint: true
)

Include Structured Content

Return both text and structured data:

ruby
data = { temperature: 72, condition: 'sunny' }

MCP::Tool::Response.new(
  [{ type: 'text', text: data.to_json }],
  structured_content: data
)

Common Patterns

Authenticated Tool

ruby
class SecureTool < MCP::Tool
  def self.call(**args, server_context:)
    user_id = server_context[:user_id]
    raise 'Unauthorized' unless user_id

    # Process request
    MCP::Tool::Response.new([{
      type: 'text',
      text: 'Success'
    }])
  end
end

Error Handling

ruby
def self.call(data:, server_context:)
  begin
    result = process(data)
    MCP::Tool::Response.new([{
      type: 'text',
      text: result
    }])
  rescue ValidationError => e
    MCP::Tool::Response.new(
      [{ type: 'text', text: e.message }],
      is_error: true
    )
  end
end

Resource Handler

ruby
server.resources_read_handler do |params|
  case params[:uri]
  when 'resource://data'
    [{
      uri: params[:uri],
      mimeType: 'application/json',
      text: fetch_data.to_json
    }]
  else
    raise "Unknown resource: #{params[:uri]}"
  end
end

Dynamic Prompt

ruby
class CustomPrompt < MCP::Prompt
  def self.template(args, server_context:)
    user_id = server_context[:user_id]
    user = User.find(user_id)

    MCP::Prompt::Result.new(
      description: "Prompt for #{user.name}",
      messages: generate_for(user)
    )
  end
end

Configuration

Exception Reporting

ruby
MCP.configure do |config|
  config.exception_reporter = ->(exception, context) {
    Bugsnag.notify(exception) do |report|
      report.add_metadata(:mcp, context)
    end
  }
end

Instrumentation

ruby
MCP.configure do |config|
  config.instrumentation_callback = ->(data) {
    StatsD.timing("mcp.#{data[:method]}", data[:duration])
  }
end

Custom Methods

ruby
server.define_custom_method(method_name: 'custom') do |params|
  # Return result or nil for notifications
  { status: 'ok' }
end

Testing

Tool Tests

ruby
class MyToolTest < Minitest::Test
  def test_tool_call
    response = MyTool.call(
      query: 'test',
      server_context: {}
    )

    refute response.is_error
    assert_equal 1, response.content.length
  end
end

Integration Tests

ruby
def test_server_handles_request
  server = MCP::Server.new(
    name: 'test',
    tools: [MyTool]
  )

  request = {
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    id: '1',
    method: 'tools/call',
    params: {
      name: 'my_tool',
      arguments: { query: 'test' }
    }
  }.to_json

  response = JSON.parse(server.handle_json(request))
  assert response['result']
end
