Model Context Protocol server
MCP Skills
The skills-hub MCP server exposes 4,400+ AI coding skills as Model Context Protocol prompts, searchable from inside any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and more. Install once, search semantically, install any skill without leaving your editor.
Why MCP for skills?
MCP — Model Context Protocol — is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI tools to external data sources and capabilities. It's the right home for a skill registry: any MCP-compatible client can search and use the catalog without a per-tool integration.
With @skills-hub-ai/mcp connected, asking Claude or Cursor "find me a TypeScript code-review skill" surfaces the right skill from 4,400+ options, complete with quality score, security grade, and one-line install command. No browser tab required.
For tool builders, the MCP server is also a stable contract — skills-hub.ai handles syncing from 90+ official sources, security scanning, version management, and deduplication; you just consume the prompts.
Configuring the MCP server
For Claude Desktop, add the server to your config file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skills-hub": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@skills-hub-ai/mcp"]
}
}
}Restart your client and skills will be available as MCP prompts. For Cursor, Cline, and other clients, see the integration docs — the config shape is similar.

Frequently asked questions about MCP skills
What are MCP skills?
MCP skills are AI coding skills exposed through the Model Context Protocol — Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI tools to data sources and capability servers. The @skills-hub-ai/mcp server exposes 4,400+ skills as MCP prompts so any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and more) can search and install them without leaving the editor.
How do I install the skills-hub MCP server?
Add @skills-hub-ai/mcp to your MCP client config. For Claude Desktop, edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) and add a server entry pointing to `npx @skills-hub-ai/mcp`. The full config is on the Smithery listing and in the docs.
What can I do with the MCP server?
Search the catalog with natural-language queries (`find a code-review skill for TypeScript`), get install instructions for any skill, list skills by category or external source, and pull SKILL.md content directly into your AI tool's context. The server is a thin layer over the public skills-hub.ai API.
Does it work with non-Claude tools?
Yes. MCP is an open standard adopted by Cursor, Cline, Continue, and others. Any client that speaks MCP can connect to @skills-hub-ai/mcp — you don't need to be on Claude.
Is it free?
Yes. The MCP server is open source on npm and free to use. The catalog it queries is also free.
