MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL

MCP Server Creation & Data Curation Layer

I build a focused MCP server plus the data engine behind it. Clean structured data + small purposeful tools + tests that catch drift early = answers you can trust.

Schema First Source Backed Evaluation Wired Refresh Automation Observability

Objective: Create a domain intelligence layer that delivers structured, reliable tool outputs - not transient prompt experiments.

Schema First

Entities, relationships & query modes mapped before tool code.

Evaluation Wired

Representative regression sets & scoring harness from week 1.

Lifecycle Automation

Ingestion → normalize → re‑index → drift alert loops scheduled.

Observability

Latency, cost, retrieval stats, eval deltas & tool usage metrics.

Why this matters

Common Failure Patterns

Many AI builds fail because they start with prompts, ignore data structure, never test quality, and let content go stale. I flip that: structure first, tools second, tests always.

Prompts change, quality drifts & no one notices.

Knowledge corpus goes stale; no refresh policy.

Generic chat interface cannot execute structured tasks.

Hard to justify LLM spend without instrumentation.

Delivery Roadmap

From Mapping → Lifecycle

Ship a minimal evaluable spine, then layer tools, evaluation depth & automation based on observed usage - not assumption.

Principle

No phase expands until the previous produces stable signals: retrieval quality, tool latency, evaluation trend & dataset freshness.

1

Phase 1 – Map Domain

List key things, sources & what 'good' looks like.

2

Phase 2 – Seed Spine

Schema + first clean data + tiny search tool + simple tests.

3

Phase 3 – Add Tools

Compare, classify, plan + smarter retrieval + logging.

4

Phase 4 – Test & Guard

Score answers, watch drift, track cost & speed.

5

Phase 5 – Automate

Scheduled refresh, re-index, deploy & metrics.

6

Phase 6 – Optimize

Add advanced tools, grow data, tune cost & latency.

Why This Approach

What Makes It Durable

Tool contracts reflect domain verbs (plan, compare, normalize, score)
Dataset refresh strategy baked in (no stale corpora)
Evaluation is continuous, not a one‑time benchmark
Transparent operational metrics (usage, cost, latency, quality)
Data Methodology

Governed Dataset Workflow

I follow a clear cycle (plan → collect → clean → test → refresh). The full methodology shows how I keep data trusted, versioned and up to date.

Why it matters

Prevents drift, enables auditability, supports evaluation accuracy & accelerates safe expansion of tool surfaces over time.

  • Source-backed over speculative synthesis
  • Schema before ingestion to prevent uncontrolled sprawl
  • Small evaluable slices > monolithic dump
  • Changelog & version semantics for every structural change
  • Layered freshness probes (daily / weekly / event-triggered)
  • Explicit uncertainty flags instead of silent assumptions
  • Separation of raw capture, normalized JSON, and tool contract views
