Need Question Formation Embedded in MCP Workflows
MCP-enabled documentation should accelerate implementation work inside IDEs and copilots, but 'ask anything' interfaces fail when users don't know the right prompts.

Persona Story:
Nina, the context engineer, wants MCP-enabled documentation to accelerate implementation work inside IDEs and copilots, but “ask anything” interfaces fail when users don’t know the right prompts.
Problem Context
- MCP servers provide a use-case driven separation of concerns
- Making documentation queryable is becoming table stakes
- The main failure mode is not lack of access, but lack of scaffolding for inquiry
Problem Impact
- Copilot/agent experiences degrade into prompt trial-and-error
- Teams invest in MCP infrastructure but don’t realize expected DX gains
- Juniors become dependent on seniors for “what do I ask next?” guidance
Naftiko Today
- Agent Skills exposure groups MCP tools into business-level skills with descriptions, giving agents and users structured entry points instead of “ask anything” interfaces
- Auto-exposed HTTP APIs for skill discovery and download let agents programmatically browse available capabilities and understand what questions are answerable
- outputParameters normalization layer ensures agents receive clean, well-named fields that naturally scaffold follow-up queries
- Tutorial (10 steps) and reference examples demonstrate question-oriented workflows that teams can adapt for their own MCP-based documentation
Naftiko Tomorrow
- Tool annotations for readOnly/destructive/idempotent (Second Alpha) will help agents categorize and suggest appropriate next actions to users
- HTML/Markdown format support (Second Alpha) will let MCP tools return rich, structured guidance that scaffolds inquiry
- Starter templates (Second Alpha) will provide pre-built question-oriented capability patterns teams can adopt immediately
- A2A adapter (Second Alpha) will enable agent-to-agent delegation with structured task handoffs rather than open-ended prompting
