Flask-MCP-Server is a lightweight, production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Flask, with tool discovery, endpoint registration, async support, and full compliance with the latest MCP 2025-06-18 specification.
Flask MCP Server implements a single tool 'sum' with basic but incomplete definition quality. The tool has a clear, action-oriented name ('sum') and a concise description ('Sum two integers'). Input parameters are properly typed (both integers) with brief descriptions ('First number', 'Second number'). However, the definition lacks critical elements: no documented output schema, no error handling guidance, no parameter constraints or ranges, and descriptions are extremely minimal (17 and 13 characters respectively, below the 34-character p10 baseline). The server itself demonstrates good production-readiness patterns (authentication, rate limiting, validation) but the tool definitions are sparse. With only one tool, the overall definition quality is held back by missing schema documentation and minimal parameter descriptions.
Sum two integers
Tool description is too short (17 chars) to serve as LLM prompt material. Below p10 baseline of 34 chars. Lacks context on when to use, what it returns, and dependencies.
Parameter descriptions are minimal ('First number', 'Second number', 13-14 chars each). No guidance on ranges, constraints, or relationship between parameters. Below 72-char baseline for production tools.
Output schema is not documented in the tool definition. LLMs cannot plan downstream tool calls or extract return values without knowing what fields to expect.
No error handling guidance. If the tool fails (e.g., integer overflow, invalid input), the definition provides no recovery hints for the LLM.

No parameter constraints documented. For numeric parameters, minimum/maximum bounds (e.g., -2^31 to 2^31-1 for typical integers) should be stated to prevent LLM from passing absurd values.
