What is this?

An MCP server that connects your AI coding agent to the SkillsMP marketplace — 8,000+ community-made skills.

You can search for skills, read them directly into your agent's context, install them permanently, or remove them. No API key needed. One command to set up.

The key idea: you don't always need to install a skill. You can just read it and your agent gets the instructions on the spot.


Quick Start

Claude Code

claude mcp add skills-master -- npx skills-master-mcp

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "skills-master": { "command": "npx", "args": ["skills-master-mcp"] } } }

Any MCP-Compatible Client

npx skills-master-mcp

No API key. No .env. No configuration.


Example

Here's a real use case. You need to convert a markdown file to PDF but your agent doesn't know how. Instead of figuring it out yourself, just ask:

You: "I need to convert README.md to a PDF" Agent: searches SkillsMP for "markdown to pdf" → finds a skill for it → reads the SKILL.md content from GitHub → now has the full instructions in context Agent: "I found a skill for this. It uses Puppeteer to render the markdown and save it as PDF. Let me do that now." ...converts your file using the skill's instructions. You: "Thanks"

The skill was never installed to your machine. The agent just read it, learned the approach, and executed it. One-shot use.

If you want a skill permanently, you can install it too:

You: "Install that markdown-to-pdf skill for Claude Code" Agent: runs install_skill → skill is now saved to .claude/commands/ → available in every future conversation

How It Works

Your AI Agent │ ▼ skills-master-mcp (local, via npx) ├── search / ai_search ──▶ Proxy Backend ──▶ SkillsMP API ├── read_skill ──────────▶ GitHub (direct) ├── install_skill ───────▶ npx add-skill └── remove_skill ────────▶ Local file deletion

Search requests go through a proxy backend so you don't need an API key. Everything else is direct.


Configuration

Nothing to configure. Optional env vars for advanced use:

Variable
