Claude Skills MCP Server

This MCP server is no longer hosted or maintained. Agent Skills have been natively adopted by all major AI platforms — Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Copilot, and others now support skills out of the box. There is no longer a need for an MCP bridge to deliver skills to your coding assistant. Thank you to everyone who used and contributed to this project!

Use Claude's powerful new Skills system with ANY AI model or coding assistant - including Cursor, Codex, GPT-5, Gemini, and more. This MCP server brings Anthropic's Agent Skills framework to the entire AI ecosystem through the Model Context Protocol.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides intelligent search capabilities for discovering relevant Claude Agent Skills using vector embeddings and semantic similarity. This server implements the same progressive disclosure architecture that Anthropic describes in their Agent Skills engineering blog, making specialized skills available to any MCP-compatible AI application.

An open-source project by K-Dense AI - creators of autonomous AI scientists for scientific research.

This MCP server enables any MCP-compatible AI assistant to intelligently search and retrieve skills from our curated Claude Scientific Skills repository and other skill sources like the Official Claude Skills.

Demo

Semantic search and progressive loading of Claude Agent Skills in Cursor

Highlights

• Two-Package Architecture: Lightweight frontend (~15 MB) starts instantly; backend (~250 MB) downloads in background
• No Cursor Timeout: Frontend responds in <5 seconds, solving the timeout issue
• Semantic Search: Vector embeddings for intelligent skill discovery
• Progressive Disclosure: Multi-level skill loading (metadata → full content → files)
• Zero Configuration: Works out of the box with curated skills
• Multi-Source: Load from GitHub repositories and local directories
• Fast & Local: No API keys needed, with automatic GitHub caching
• Configurable: Customize sources, models, and content limits

Quick Start

For Cursor Users

Add through the Cursor Directory, or add to your Cursor config (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-skills": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["claude-skills-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The frontend starts instantly and displays tools, automatically downloading and starting the backend in the background (~60-120s due to RAG dependencies, one-time
