What is the Skills MCP server?

Connect Skills to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. 62 agent skills for Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent and other agentskills.io-compatible agents: 50 expert frameworks from bestselling books, plus 12 metaskills — guided journeys that. The skills mcp server is what makes that connection.

Installation

skills on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Skill — Description

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Skills's toolset — Skill — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by wondelai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
