| creation      | Tools for producing MCP Description documents — capturing capabilities from a live MCP server, editing a description in the browser, or generating one from scratch. |
| documentation | Tools for generating or rendering human-readable output from a description — changelogs, documentation pages, and embeddable card views for portals.                 |
| hosting       | Tools that serve or proxy at runtime — mock MCP servers, gateways, and adapters that spin up a server directly from a description.                                   |
| testing       | Tools for ensuring description accuracy and consistency — format compliance, linting style rules, evaluate a server behaviour against a description.                 |
