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:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skills": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["agent-skills-mcp"],
"env": {
"SKILL_FOLDER": "~/skills"
}
}
}
}
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)
