TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: semantic search, content reading, installation, repo listing, and keyword search. No overlap.
All tools use the 'skillsmp_' prefix followed by a verb_noun pattern (ai_search, get_skill_content, install_skill, list_repo_skills, search), creating a predictable and clear naming convention.
Five tools is an ideal size for a skills marketplace MCP server, covering the core workflow of discovery, preview, and installation without being excessive.
The tool set covers the essential lifecycle (search, preview, install) for skills. Missing uninstall or update tools, but these are secondary to the primary use case.
