Which integrations are available for this server?

Enables the execution of JavaScript scripts bundled within skill folders, allowing AI agents to perform custom logic and scriptable actions. Uses Markdown files to define skill instructions, metadata, and workflow guides that are dynamically loaded and interpreted by AI agents. Allows for the execution of Python scripts included in modular skill directories to perform data analysis, automation, and other specialized tasks. Supports the execution of TypeScript scripts as part of bundled skills, providing a structured environment for extending AI agent capabilities.

How do I use Skill MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Skill MCP Server list all available skills" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Skill MCP Server

Skill MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents like Claude to dynamically load and use modular "skills".

Think of it as a plugin system for AI agents — drop a skill folder into the directory, and your agent instantly gains new capabilities. No coding required, no server restarts needed.

Why Skill MCP Server?

Traditional Approach	With Skill MCP Server
Write code to extend agent capabilities	Just copy a folder
Restart services to apply changes	Hot reload, instant availability
Each capability developed separately	Community-shared, plug-and-play
Complex integration work	Zero configuration

Features

Instant Capability Extension — Drop skill folders, gain superpowers
Zero Configuration — Skills are auto-discovered and loaded
Hot Reload — Add new skills without restarting the server
Multi-Language Scripts — Execute Python, Shell, JavaScript, TypeScript
Secure by Design — Path validation, sandboxed file operations
Resource Bundling — Include templates, references, and assets with skills

Quick Start

Installation

# Using pip pip install skill-mcp-server # Using uv (recommended) uv pip install skill-mcp-server

30-Second Setup

# 1. Create a skills directory mkdir skills # 2. Download or create a skill (example: copy the skill-creator) cp -r examples/skill-creator skills/ # 3. Start the server skill-mcp-server --skills-dir ./skills

That's it! Your AI agent can now use the skill.

Configure with Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "skill-server": { "command": "skill-mcp-server", "args": ["--skills-dir", "/path/to/your/skills"] } } }

Configure with Claude Code

Add to your ~/.claude.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "skill-server": { "command": "skill-mcp-server", "args": [ "--skills-dir", "/path/to/your/skills", "--workspace", "/path/to/workspace" ] } } }

Available MCP Tools

Tool	Description
`skill`	Load a skill to get detailed instructions
`list_skills`	List all available skills
`skill_resource`	Read resource files from a skill
`skill_script`	Execute scripts bundled with a skill
`file_read`	Read files from workspace
`file_write`	Write files to workspace
`file_edit`	Edit existing files in workspace

Creating Skills

A skill is simply a folder containing a SKILL.md file:

my-skill/ ├── SKILL.md # Required: Instructions for the AI ├── scripts/ # Optional: Executable scripts │ └── process_data.py ├── references/ # Optional: Reference documentation │ └── api_docs.md └── assets/ # Optional: Templates, images, etc. └── report_template.md

SKILL.md Format

--- name: my-skill description: Brief description of what this skill does and when to use it --- # My Skill ## Overview Explain what this skill enables the AI to do. ## Usage Step-by-step instructions for the AI agent... ## Available Resources - `scripts/process_data.py` - Process input data - `assets/report_template.md` - Output template

Example: Data Analyst Skill

--- name: data-analyst description: Analyze CSV data and generate insights reports --- # Data Analyst ## When to Use Use this skill when the user wants to: - Analyze CSV or tabular data - Generate statistical summaries - Create data visualizations ## Workflow 1. Read the data file using `file_read` 2. Execute `scripts/analyze.py` for statistical analysis 3. Use `assets/report_template.md` to format the output 4. Write the report using `file_write`

Use Cases

Data Analysis — Agent becomes a data scientist
Document Generation — Agent creates professional documents
API Integration — Agent works with specific APIs
Code Review — Agent follows your team's standards
DevOps Tasks — Agent automates deployment workflows
