Containerized deployment with Docker Compose orchestrating PostgreSQL, Redis, and MCP server services
Imports skills from multiple GitHub repositories including Anthropic Official Skills, community skills, and other skill collections
Integrates with OpenAI's API to provide semantic search capabilities for natural language skill discovery
Uses PostgreSQL with pgvector extension as the primary database for storing skill metadata, ratings, favorites, and analytics
Leverages Redis for caching to improve performance of skill searches and data retrieval
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Skills Registry MCP Serverfind skills for creating presentations with charts"
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.
Skills Registry MCP Server
Intelligent discovery and management of Claude Skills using MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Features
š Semantic Search - Find skills using natural language
ā Ratings & Reviews - Community-curated skill quality
š¾ Favorites - Save your most-used skills
š Trending - Discover popular skills
š¤ Upload - Add custom skills
š·ļø Categories & Tags - Organized skill library
Quick Start (Docker)
Prerequisites
Docker and Docker Compose
OpenAI API key (for semantic search) or Anthropic API key
1. Clone and Configure
# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your API key (use your preferred editor)
# On Mac/Linux: vi .env or code .env
# On Windows: notepad .env
# Or just echo it directly:
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here" >> .env2. Start Services
# Start PostgreSQL, Redis, and MCP server
docker-compose up -d
# View logs
docker-compose logs -f mcp-server3. Verify and Import Skills
# Check services are running
docker-compose ps
# Import skills from GitHub (60+ skills from multiple repos)
./scripts/import_github_skills.sh
# Verify import
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U skills -d skills_registry -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM skills;"This will import skills from:
Anthropic Official Skills (docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx, theme-factory, etc.)
Obra's Superpowers (test-driven-development, git workflows, etc.)
Composio Community Skills (changelog-generator, content-research-writer, etc.)
Other Community Skills (epub, ffuf, tapestry, etc.)
Usage with NCP
Install NCP
npm install -g @portel/ncpAdd Skills Registry MCP
# Add to NCP configuration
ncp add skills-registry npx @your-org/skills-registry-mcp
# Or connect to local Docker instance
ncp add skills-registry http://localhost:8000Test MCP Tools
# Search for skills
ncp find "pdf extraction"
# List categories
ncp run skills-registry:skill_list_categories
# Get trending skills
ncp run skills-registry:skill_trending --params '{"timeframe":"week"}'MCP Tools Available
