MCP Toolkit App by ChatStick

ChatStick Co., Ltd.

About this app

MCP Toolkit is the hands-on companion for building with the Model Context Protocol - the standard that lets AI agents connect to your tools, data, and APIs. It's a real toolkit, not just a book: interactive calculators, a production checklist, quizzes, and reference material do the work, and the complete handbook comes bundled as a bonus.

Everything runs 100% offline. No account, no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases - you own it.

FIVE INTERACTIVE DEVELOPER TOOLS
- Transport Selector: answer a few questions and get the right transport (stdio vs HTTP+SSE) with the reasoning behind it.
- Tool Schema Builder: compose a tool definition and copy ready-to-paste JSON-RPC for tools/list and tools/call.
- Context Budget Calculator: see exactly how much of the model's context window your tools and resources consume.
- Security Hardening Scorecard: grade your server's security posture from A to F across auth, scoping, rate limits, and sandboxing.
- Latency and Retry Planner: model worst-case latency with retries and backoff, and pick a sane client timeout.

SHIP WITH CONFIDENCE
- Production Readiness Tracker: a phase-by-phase checklist from your first server to a hardened, observable deployment. Tick items, watch your progress climb, and jump straight to the relevant chapter.

LEARN AND LEVEL UP
- 60 quiz questions: five per chapter with instant feedback and clear explanations, so every answer teaches you something.
- Key Takeaways: the essence of all 12 chapters, distilled for fast review.
- Glossary: 30+ core MCP terms, from JSON-RPC and stdio to OAuth 2.1, roots, and sampling.
- Achievements: a dozen badges that unlock as you read, quiz, build, and explore.

THE FULL HANDBOOK, INCLUDED
Every chapter and figure is bundled in the Guide tab as a bonus: adjustable text size, bookmarks, mark-as-complete, and resume-where-you-left-off. Read at your own pace, completely offline.

WHAT YOU WILL MASTER
