Setup

First, put your skills in ~/skills, e.g.

git clone https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git ~/skills

The server recursively searches for SKILL.md files and follows symlinks, allowing flexible skill organization.

Then, add this to your MCP client configuration:

Modes

• system_prompt: Include skill information in MCP instructions (recommended if your agent regards MCP server instructions)
• tool: Register skills as MCP tools (fallback mode since many agents ignore MCP server instructions)
