Refactoring MCP Tools for Better LLM Integration and Usability
- Tasks that involve Refactoring
- SKILL.md covers Capabilities: Resources,…, Streamlining Tools for LLMs, Example: Refactored Tool Set and LLM/AI-Optimized Features
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does
MCP Refactoring is an agent skill from adeze/raindrop-mcp. Refactoring MCP Tools for Better LLM Integration and Usability
Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Refactoring, MCP servers and UX design. It works with Model Context Protocol. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Refactoring
- Tasks that involve MCP servers
- Tasks that involve UX design
Example prompts
- “/mcp-refactoring”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b1e7f9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
MCP Refactoring loads about 972 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

MCP Refactoring Skill
Guidelines for refactoring Raindrop MCP tools for better LLM integration, usability, and following MCP best practices.
Capabilities: Resources, Sampling, Elicitation
Resources
Expose all major Raindrop entities as MCP resources:
collections://all,collections://{id}bookmarks://{id},tags://allhighlights://all,user://info
Implement resource discovery and navigation (list, get, search, children, etc.) using standard MCP resource URIs and methods. Ensure each resource supports GET (read), and where appropriate, CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE (write) actions.
Sampling
For large collections/bookmarks/tags/highlights, implement sampling endpoints:
- e.g.,
bookmarks://collection/{id}?sample=10returns a random or recent sample. - Add tool parameters for limit, offset, and sample to all list/search tools.
- Use MCP's sampling capability to advertise this in the server manifest.
Elicitation
Implement elicitation tools for:
- Confirming destructive actions (delete, merge, etc.)
- Requesting missing parameters (e.g., if a required field is omitted, prompt the LLM/user)
- Use the MCP elicitation capability to allow the server to ask clarifying questions or confirmations.
Streamlining Tools for LLMs
Hierarchical, Predictable Naming
- Use a consistent
{resource}_{action}pattern (e.g.,collection_list,bookmark_create,tag_manage) - Group related actions under a single tool with an operation parameter where possible (e.g.,
collection_managefor create, update, delete)
Reduce Redundancy
Collapse similar tools:
- Merge
collection_create,collection_update,collection_deleteintocollection_managewith an operation parameter - Do the same for bookmarks, tags, highlights
- For read-only actions, keep list, get, and search as separate, simple tools
Show full SKILL.md (150 more words)Show less
LLM-Friendly Descriptions
- Ensure every tool and parameter has a clear, concise description
- Use Zod schemas for validation and documentation
Example: Refactored Tool Set
| Tool Name | Description | Operations/Params |
|---|---|---|
| collection_manage | Create, update, or delete a collection | operation: create/update/delete |
| collection_list | List all or child collections | parentId |
| bookmark_manage | Create, update, delete, move, tag bookmarks | operation, ids, data |
| bookmark_search | Search bookmarks with filters | query, tags, collection, etc. |
| tag_manage | Rename, merge, delete tags | operation, tagNames, newName |
| highlight_manage | Create, update, delete highlights | operation, id, data |
| user_profile | Get user info | |
| user_statistics | Get user or collection stats | collectionId |
| import_export | Import/export bookmarks, check status | operation, format, etc. |
| diagnostics | Server diagnostics | includeEnvironment |
LLM/AI-Optimized Features
- Resource URIs: Support direct resource access via URIs (e.g.,
collections://all) - Streaming: For large lists, support streaming or pagination
- Sampling: Add sample and limit parameters to all list/search tools
- Elicitation: Use MCP's elicitation to prompt for missing/ambiguous info and confirmations
- Consistent Error Handling: Always return structured, descriptive errors
