Frequently Asked Questions
Why does tool naming matter in MCP?
The tool name is used by the AI model to select which tool to call. A clear, descriptive name (search_documents, create_ticket) helps the model understand the tool without relying solely on the description. Vague names like "run" or "process" make tool selection ambiguous.
What is snake_case and why is it common in MCP?
snake_case uses underscores to separate words: search_documents, get_user_orders. It is the most common MCP naming convention because it is unambiguous, easy to read, and consistent with function naming in Python and many CLI tools.
Can I use camelCase or kebab-case instead?
Yes. camelCase (searchDocuments) and kebab-case (search-documents) are valid in most MCP clients. The most important thing is to be consistent across all tools in the same server. Check if your MCP client has a preference.
Which verbs are recommended for MCP tool names?
Prefer specific action verbs: get (retrieve a single resource), list (retrieve multiple), search/find (query with criteria), create/add (create a new resource), update/patch (modify an existing resource), delete/remove (destroy a resource), validate (check for correctness), generate/convert (transform data). Avoid: run, process, handle, manage, do — too vague.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Name generation runs entirely in your browser.
