MCP server - skillmd

The skillmd MCP server exposes generation and retrieval as tools any MCP-aware agent can call — so Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf can build their own context without leaving the editor.

Install

Most clients run the server on demand with npx:

npx -y @getskillmd/mcp

You rarely run this yourself — you point your client’s MCP config at it.

Configure your client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getskillmd/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getskillmd/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getskillmd/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillmd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getskillmd/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Add the config

Paste the snippet into your client’s MCP configuration.

Restart the client

Ask in natural language

“Generate a skill for the Linear API and use it to draft an integration.”

Available tools

Tool	What it does
`generate_skill`	Generate a new `skill.md` from a URL
`get_skill`	Fetch the full content of an existing skill
`list_skills`	List available skills
`get_skill_screenshot`	Get a screenshot captured for a skill’s source
`get_skill_asset`	Retrieve an asset extracted during generation
`verify_design`	Check an implementation against a design skill
`find_inspiration`	Surface related skills and references

Pair generate_skill with verify_design to build UI from a design skill and then check your implementation against it — all inside the agent loop.
