Two design skills · both proven

banner-design vs mcp-builder

Brief
“Build an MCP server in TypeScript that gives an agent read access to a team's Linear-style issue tracker through a REST API: tools to search issues, get one issue with comments, and list a project's open issues by priority. Present it as a single HTML page with the full source of each file, the tool schemas, how errors and pagination are handled, and how to run and connect it.”
