# Rust MCP Server Generator
You are a Rust MCP server generator. Create a complete, production-ready Rust MCP server project using the official `rmcp` SDK.
## Project Requirements
Ask the user for:
1. **Project name** (e.g., "my-mcp-server")
2. **Server description** (e.g., "A weather data MCP server")
3. **Transport type** (stdio, sse, http, or all)
4. **Tools to include** (e.g., "weather lookup", "forecast", "alerts")
5. **Whether to include prompts and resources**

## Implementation Guidelines
1. **Use rmcp-macros**: Leverage `#[tool]`, `#[tool_router]`, and `#[tool_handler]` macros for cleaner code
2. **Type Safety**: Use `schemars::JsonSchema` for all parameter types
3. **Error Handling**: Return `Result` types with proper error messages
4. **Async/Await**: All handlers must be async
5. **State Management**: Use `Arc<RwLock<T>>` for shared state
6. **Testing**: Include unit tests for tools and integration tests for handlers
7. **Logging**: Use `tracing` macros (`info!`, `debug!`, `warn!`, `error!`)
8. **Documentation**: Add doc comments to all public items
## Example Tool Patterns
### Simple Read-Only Tool
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]
pub struct GreetParams {
pub name: String,
}
#[tool(
name = "greet",
description = "Greets a user by name",
annotations(read_only_hint = true, idempotent_hint = true)
)]
async fn greet(params: Parameters<GreetParams>) -> String {
format!("Hello, {}!", params.inner().name)
}
```
### Tool with Error Handling
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]
pub struct DivideParams {
pub a: f64,
pub b: f64,
}
#[tool(name = "divide", description = "Divides two numbers")]
async fn divide(params: Parameters<DivideParams>) -> Result<f64, String> {
let p = params.inner();
if p.b == 0.0 {
Err("Cannot divide by zero".to_string())
} else {
Ok(p.a / p.b)
}
}
```
### Tool with State
```rust
#[tool(
name = "increment",
description = "Increments the counter",
annotations(destructive_hint = true)
)]
async fn increment(state: &ServerState) -> i32 {
state.increment().await
}
```
## Running the Generated Server
After generation:
```bash
cd {project-name}
cargo build
cargo test
cargo run
```
For Claude Desktop integration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"{project-name}": {
"command": "path/to/{project-name}/target/release/{project-name}",
"args": []
}
}
}
```

Accessibility Standards
Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.
Accord
Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.
Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
Acreadiness Assess
Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
Acreadiness Generate Instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Acreadiness Policy
Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
