What it does

Kotlin MCP Server Generator is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Generate a complete Kotlin MCP server project with proper structure, dependencies, and implementation using the official io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk library.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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 Mobile, covering Android development and MCP servers. It works with Kotlin, Model Context Protocol and Gradle. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Android development
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/kotlin-mcp-server-generator”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Project Structure: Gradle-based Kotlin project layout
  2. Dependencies: Official MCP SDK, Ktor, and kotlinx libraries
  3. Server Setup: Configured MCP server with transports
  4. Tools: At least 2-3 useful tools with typed inputs/outputs
  5. Error Handling: Proper exception handling and validation
  6. Documentation: README with setup and usage instructions
  7. Testing: Basic test structure with coroutines

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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 (its code samples are kotlin and markdown).

    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

Kotlin MCP Server Generator loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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.

Generation Instructions

When generating a Kotlin MCP server:

  1. Gradle Setup: Create proper build.gradle.kts with all dependencies
  2. Package Structure: Follow Kotlin package conventions
  3. Type Safety: Use data classes and kotlinx.serialization
  4. Coroutines: All operations should be suspending functions
  5. Error Handling: Use Kotlin exceptions and validation
  6. JSON Schemas: Use buildJsonObject for tool schemas
  7. Testing: Include coroutine test utilities
  8. Logging: Use kotlin-logging for structured logging
  9. Configuration: Use data classes and environment variables
  10. Documentation: KDoc comments for public APIs

Best Practices

  • Use suspending functions for all async operations
  • Leverage Kotlin's null safety and type system
  • Use data classes for structured data
  • Apply kotlinx.serialization for JSON handling
  • Use sealed classes for result types
  • Implement proper error handling with Result/Either patterns
  • Write tests using kotlinx-coroutines-test
  • Use dependency injection for testability
  • Follow Kotlin coding conventions
  • Use meaningful names and KDoc comments

Transport Options

Stdio Transport
kotlin
val transport = StdioServerTransport()
server.connect(transport)
SSE Transport (Ktor)
kotlin
embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080) {
    mcp {
        Server(/*...*/) { "Description" }
    }
}.start(wait = true)

Multiplatform Configuration

For multiplatform projects, add to build.gradle.kts:

kotlin
kotlin {
    jvm()
    js(IR) { nodejs() }
    wasmJs()
    
    sourceSets {
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation("io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk:0.7.2")
        }
    }
}
