Summary

  • Adds guidance in the MCP starter skill that server_name from mcp_list_services is the canonical identifier and must be used verbatim in all calls
  • Updates skill-saving instructions to require the saved skill document starts with the exact server_name value
  • Adds a common pitfall warning about using skill folder names or display names instead of the actual registered server name (e.g. calendar-email vs calendar-mcp)

Test plan

  • Solution builds cleanly
  • All 539 tests pass

…routing

The MCP starter skill guide didn't stress that the server_name from
mcp_list_services must be used verbatim. LLMs were substituting skill
folder names (e.g. calendar-email) for the actual server name
(calendar-mcp), causing "not connected" errors.
