MCP Error Handler with Retry Pattern: Claude Code Prompt

Design a structured error handling and retry wrapper for MCP tools with exponential backoff and error classification

Write the TypeScript error handler and retry wrapper for the MCP server in [YOUR_PROJECT].

Requirements:
**Error classification**:
- Retryable: network timeouts, 429 rate limit, 503 service unavailable, database connect
TLDR

Structured error handling and retry wrapper for MCP tools. Classifies errors as retryable or permanent, applies exponential backoff, and returns consistent error objects across all tools.

How to use

  1. 1

    Start by replacing [YOUR_PROJECT] with your actual project name to ensure the generated code is tailored to your specific MCP implementation.

  2. 2

    Use the provided error classification to categorize your errors properly, which will enhance the clarity and effectiveness of your error handling logic.

  3. 3

    Try adjusting the MAX_RETRIES and BASE_DELAY_MS values in your implementation to fine-tune the retry behavior based on your server's performance and requirements.
