## Collection Usage

### Rust MCP Expert

recommended

This chat mode provides expert guidance for building MCP servers in Rust.

This chat mode is ideal for:
- Creating new MCP server projects with Rust
- Implementing async handlers with tokio runtime
- Using rmcp procedural macros for tools
- Setting up stdio, SSE, or HTTP transports
- Debugging async Rust and ownership issues
- Learning Rust MCP best practices with the official rmcp SDK
- Performance optimization with Arc and RwLock

To get the best results, consider:
- Using the instruction file to set context for Rust MCP development
- Using the prompt to generate initial project structure
- Switching to the expert chat mode for detailed implementation help
- Specifying which transport type you need
- Providing details about what tools or functionality you need
- Mentioning if you need OAuth authentication
