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"]
    }
  }
}
