Click on "Deploy 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., "@SkillFlow MCP Server search for skills that help with Docker configuration"
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.
Connect AI coding agents to the SkillFlow AI skills marketplace. Live data. Zero config. One command.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI coding agents to the SkillFlow marketplace — a curated AI skills marketplace with trust metrics and performance data.
AI agents are the new users. Instead of browsing a website, agents can now programmatically search, discover, and evaluate skills from SkillFlow using the MCP protocol.
"It's 2026. Build. For. Agents." — Andrej Karpathy
Key benefits:
Live API — real-time data from the SkillFlow backend, not hardcoded
Curated skills across 6 business categories with performance metrics
Trust metrics — success rates, run counts, ratings, and speed benchmarks
Zero config — no API keys, no environment variables, just npx
Works everywhere — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible agent

This server supports two transports:
Transport | Use Case | Command |
stdio | Local use with Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc. |
|
Streamable HTTP | Remote access via Smithery.ai, cloud agents |

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: get_publisher_info focuses on publishers, get_skill_details on individual skills, get_trending_skills on trending lists, list_categories on categories, and search_skills on keyword-based discovery. The descriptions reinforce these boundaries, making misselection unlikely.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., get_publisher_info, search_skills). The verbs are descriptive and uniform across the set, with no deviations in style or convention.
With 5 tools, this server is well-scoped for a marketplace discovery service. Each tool earns its place by covering distinct aspects of browsing and querying skills, publishers, and categories, without being overly sparse or bloated.
The tool set provides comprehensive read-only coverage for exploring a skill marketplace, including publishers, skills, categories, and search. A minor gap exists in the lack of tools for installing or managing skills, but agents can still perform discovery tasks effectively.
