How do I use SkillFlow 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., "@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.

SkillFlow MCP Server

Available on SkillFlow npm version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI coding agents to the SkillFlow marketplace. Search, discover, and install AI agent skills directly from Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and more.

Why?

AI agents are the new users. Instead of browsing a website, agents can now programmatically search and install skills from SkillFlow using the MCP protocol.
