MCP Async Skill Generator

Generate reusable Skills from HTTP MCP servers that use async job patterns.

When to Use

• Converting .mcp.json into a packaged Skill (tool info is fetched from catalog)
• Calling async MCP tools: submit → poll status → get result → download
• Integrating image/video generation MCPs (fal.ai, Replicate, etc.)

File Upload (for image/audio/video inputs)

Many MCPs require URL inputs for media files. Use fal_client to upload local files:

# Upload file and get URL (one-liner)
python -c "import fal_client; url=fal_client.upload_file(r'/path/to/file.png'); print(f'URL: {url}')"

# Examples for different platforms:
# Windows
python -c "import fal_client; url=fal_client.upload_file(r'C:\Users\name\image.png'); print(f'URL: {url}')"

# Linux/Mac
python -c "import fal_client; url=fal_client.upload_file('/home/user/image.png'); print(f'URL: {url}')"

# Android (Termux)
python -c "import fal_client; url=fal_client.upload_file('/storage/emulated/0/Download/image.png'); print(f'URL: {url}')"

The returned URL (e.g., https://v3b.fal.media/files/...) can be used in imageurl, imageurls, audio_url, etc. parameters.

Supported formats: png, jpg, jpeg, gif, webp, mp3, wav, mp4, webm, etc.

Quick Start

Generate Skill from MCP Config (Recommended)

Tool information is automatically fetched from mcptoolcatalog.yaml:

# Generate skills for ALL servers in mcp.json
python scripts/generate_skill.py \
  --mcp-config /path/to/.mcp.json

# Generate skill for specific server(s) only
python scripts/generate_skill.py \
  --mcp-config /path/to/.mcp.json \
  -s fal-ai/flux-lora

# Generate multiple specific servers
python scripts/generate_skill.py \
  --mcp-config /path/to/.mcp.json \
  -s server1 -s server2

Output: .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

The server name in .mcp.json is used to look up tools from the catalog.

Lazy Mode (Context-Saving)

For MCPs with many tools, use --lazy to minimize initial context consumption:

python scripts/generate_skill.py \
  --mcp-config /path/to/.mcp.json \
  --lazy

In lazy mode:

• SKILL.md contains only tool names and descriptions (no parameter details)
• Full tool definitions are stored in references/tools/<skill>.yaml
• AI reads YAML before execution to get parameters

Generate Skill with Legacy tools.info

If you have a local tools.info file:

python scripts/generate_skill.py \
  --mcp-config /path/to/.mcp.json \
  --tools-info /path/to/tools.info \
  --name my-mcp-skill

Specify Custom Output Directory

python scripts/generate_skill.py \
  --mcp-config /path/to/.mcp.json \
  --output /custom/path

Direct Async Tool Call

python scripts/mcp_async_call.py \
  --endpoint "https://mcp.example.com/sse" \
  --submit-tool "generate_image" \
  --status-tool "check_status" \
  --result-tool "get_result" \
  --args '{"prompt": "a cat"}' \
  --output ./output

Async Pattern Flow

1. SUBMIT    → POST JSON-RPC → Get session_id
2. STATUS    → Poll with session_id → Wait for "completed"
3. RESULT    → Get download URL
4. DOWNLOAD  → Save file locally

JSON-RPC 2.0 Format

All MCP calls use this structure:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "unique-id",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "tool_name",
    "arguments": { "key": "value" }
  }
}

Input File Formats

.mcp.json

Multi-server format (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fal-ai/flux-lora": {
      "url": "https://mcp.example.com/flux-lora/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer xxx"
      }
    },
    "fal-ai/video-enhance": {
      "url": "https://mcp.example.com/video-enhance/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

With multi-server format:

• python generate_skill.py -m mcp.json → Generates skills for ALL servers
• python generate_skill.py -m mcp.json -s fal-ai/flux-lora → Generates only specified server
• python generate_skill.py -m mcp.json -s server1 -s server2 → Multiple servers

Single-server format:

{
  "name": "t2i-kamui-fal-flux-lora",
  "url": "https://kamui-code.ai/t2i/fal/flux-lora",
  "auth_header": "KAMUI-CODE-PASS",
  "auth_value": "your-pass"
}

mcptoolcatalog.yaml (Auto-fetched)

Tool information is fetched from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yumeno/kamuicode-config-manager/main/mcptoolcatalog.yaml

The catalog contains 266+ servers with tool definitions:

servers:
  - id: t2i-kamui-fal-flux-lora
    status: online
    tools:
      - name: flux_lora_submit
        description: Submit Flux LoRA image generation request
        inputSchema:
          properties:
            prompt:
              description: Image prompt
              type: string
          required:
            - prompt
          type: object

tools.info (Legacy)

Optional, for backward compatibility:

[
  {
    "name": "generate",
    "description": "Generate content",
    "inputSchema": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "prompt": { "type": "string", "description": "Input prompt" }
      },
      "required": ["prompt"]
    }
  }
]

Script Reference

scripts/mcpasynccall.py

Main async MCP caller with full flow automation.

Options:

• --endpoint, -e: MCP server URL
• --submit-tool: Tool name for job submission
• --status-tool: Tool name for status checking
• --result-tool: Tool name for result retrieval
• --args, -a: Submit arguments as JSON string
• --args-file: Load arguments from JSON file
• --output, -o: Output directory (default: ./output)
• --output-file, -O: Output file path (overrides auto filename, allows overwrite)
• --auto-filename: Use {requestid}{timestamp}.{ext} format
• --poll-interval: Seconds between polls (default: queueconfig.yaml pollinterval)
• --max-polls: Maximum poll attempts (default: jobtimeout / pollinterval)
• --header: Add custom header (format: Key:Value)
• --config, -c: Load endpoint from .mcp.json
• --save-logs: Save request/response logs to {output}/logs/
• --save-logs-inline: Save logs alongside output file as {filename}_*.json

Queue Manager (mcpqueuedaemon.py)

Async jobs are processed through the queue daemon for concurrency and rate limiting.

Key settings (queue_config.yaml):

• max_concurrent: Maximum concurrent jobs
• start_interval: Minimum time between job starts (seconds)
• poll_interval: Status poll interval (seconds)
• job_timeout: Job timeout (seconds)
• clientidletimeout: Client idle timeout (seconds, 0 disables)
• globalrateper_min: Global rate limit per minute
• global_burst: Global burst
• endpoint_rates: Per-endpoint rate limiting (optional)

Notes:

• If --poll-interval/--max-polls are omitted, the daemon derives defaults from pollinterval and jobtimeout.
• endpoint_rates is applied in addition to the global rate limit.

File Extension Detection:

Extension is determined in this order:

1. User-specified via --output-file
2. Content-Type header from download response
3. URL path extension
4. Warning if none detected

Duplicate File Avoidance:

When --output-file is not specified, existing files are not overwritten. A suffix is added:

• output.png → output1.png → output2.png

scripts/generate_skill.py

Generate complete Skill from MCP specifications.

Options:

• --mcp-config, -m: Path to .mcp.json (required)
• --servers, -s: Server name(s) to generate (can specify multiple, default: all)
• --tools-info, -t: Path to tools.info (legacy mode, single server only)
• --output, -o: Output directory
• --name, -n: Skill name (auto-detected if omitted, single server only)
• --catalog-url: Custom catalog URL (default: GitHub raw URL)
• --lazy, -l: Generate minimal SKILL.md (tool definitions in references/tools/*.yaml)

Requirements:

• pip install pyyaml requests (for catalog fetching)

Common Status Values

Programmatic Usage

from scripts.mcp_async_call import run_async_mcp_job

result = run_async_mcp_job(
    endpoint="https://mcp.example.com/sse",
    submit_tool="generate",
    submit_args={"prompt": "sunset over mountains"},
    status_tool="status",
    result_tool="result",
    output_dir="./output",
    poll_interval=2.0,
    max_polls=300,
)

print(result["saved_path"])  # Path to downloaded file

Error Handling

The script handles:

• JSON-RPC errors in response
• Job failures (status: failed/error)
• Timeout after max polls
• Download failures

All errors raise exceptions with descriptive messages.
