Testing
Local MCP Tool Testing
You can test the local MCP server using the MCP Inspector:
npm run build
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node path/to/pokemon-paste-mcp/dist/index.js
If you want to test the MCP server directly with your MCP client, use this complete test input:
{
"pokemon": [
{
"name": "Pikachu",
"species": "Pikachu",
"item": "Light Ball",
"ability": "Static",
"moves": ["Thunderbolt", "Quick Attack", "Iron Tail", "Agility"],
"nature": "Jolly",
"gender": "M",
"evs": { "hp": 0, "atk": 252, "def": 0, "spa": 4, "spd": 0, "spe": 252 },
"ivs": { "hp": 31, "atk": 31, "def": 31, "spa": 31, "spd": 31, "spe": 31 },
"level": 50,
"shiny": false
},
{
"name": "Charizard",
"species": "Charizard",
"item": "Charcoal",
"ability": "Blaze",
"moves": ["Flamethrower", "Air Slash", "Solar Beam", "Roost"],
"nature": "Modest",
"gender": "M",
"evs": { "hp": 4, "atk": 0, "def": 0, "spa": 252, "spd": 0, "spe": 252 },
"ivs": { "hp": 31, "atk": 0, "def": 31, "spa": 31, "spd": 31, "spe": 31 },
"level": 50,
"teraType": "Fire"
},
{
"name": "Alakazam",
"species": "Alakazam",
"item": "Life Orb",
"ability": "Magic Guard",
"moves": ["Psychic", "Focus Blast", "Shadow Ball", "Recover"],
"nature": "Timid",
"gender": "M",
"evs": { "hp": 4, "atk": 0, "def": 0, "spa": 252, "spd": 0, "spe": 252 },
"ivs": { "hp": 31, "atk": 0, "def": 31, "spa": 31, "spd": 31, "spe": 31 },
"level": 50,
"shiny": true,
"pokeball": "Ultra Ball"
}
],
"title": "Sample Competitive Team",
"author": "Pokemon Trainer",
"notes": "A balanced team with Pikachu as the main attacker, Charizard for coverage, and Alakazam for special sweeping."
}
This test input includes:
- Three diverse Pokemon with different roles
- Various optional fields (shiny, teraType, pokeball)
- Sample EV/IV spreads for competitive play
- Team metadata (title, author, notes)
The expected output should be a Pokepaste URL that you can visit to see the formatted team.

FAQ
- What is the Pokepaste MCP server?
- Pokepaste is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for Pokepaste?
- This profile displays 51 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.6 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

- +Keep servers updated for bug fixes and new features
- +Document configuration for team members
- +Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
✗ Don't
- −Don't grant overly permissive access to MCP servers
- −Don't skip reading security considerations in docs
- −Don't expose sensitive data without proper controls
- −Don't run untrusted MCP servers without code review
- −Don't ignore error messages—investigate root cause
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Combine multiple MCP servers for powerful workflows
- ★Create custom MCP servers for your specific needs
- ★Share successful configurations with team
- ★Use MCP inspector for debugging
- ★Join MCP community for tips and troubleshooting
Technical Details▌
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
- Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- JSON-RPC 2.0
- stdio or HTTP transport
Compatibility
- Claude Desktop
- Cursor IDE
- Custom MCP clients
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
Integration▌
- →Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
- →Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
- →Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
- →Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
