Setup

First, put your skills in ~/skills, e.g.

git clone https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git ~/skills

The server recursively searches for SKILL.md files and follows symlinks, allowing flexible skill organization.

Then, add this to your MCP client configuration:

Install MCP Server Add to Kiro

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skills": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agent-skills-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SKILL_FOLDER": "~/skills"
      }
    }
  }
}

Modes

  • system_prompt: Include skill information in MCP instructions (recommended if your agent regards MCP server instructions)

  • tool: Register skills as MCP tools (fallback mode since many agents ignore MCP server instructions)
