MCP Server for SkillFlow - Connect AI coding agents to 500+ curated AI skills. Zero config, no API keys. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot.

Listed September 17, 2026

SkillFlow MCP Server

Connect AI coding agents to the SkillFlow AI skills marketplace. Live data. Zero config. One command.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI coding agents to the SkillFlow marketplace — a curated AI skills marketplace with trust metrics and performance data.

Why SkillFlow?

AI agents are the new users. Instead of browsing a website, agents can now programmatically search, discover, and evaluate skills from SkillFlow using the MCP protocol.

"It's 2026. Build. For. Agents." — Andrej Karpathy

Key benefits:

Live API — real-time data from the SkillFlow backend, not hardcoded
Curated skills across 6 business categories with performance metrics
Trust metrics — success rates, run counts, ratings, and speed benchmarks
Zero config — no API keys, no environment variables, just npx
Works everywhere — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible agent

Transports

This server supports two transports:

Transport	Use Case	Command
stdio	Local use with Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.	`npx skillflow-mcp-server`
Streamable HTTP	Remote access via Smithery.ai, cloud agents	`skillflow-mcp-http` or `npm start:http`

stdioLocal

Pick your client and paste the snippet. Each one is the same server, written the way that client expects it.

bash

Run the command below in your terminal.
Restart Claude Code, then check the connection with /mcp.

claude mcp add skillflow -- npx -y skillflow-mcp-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillflow": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "skillflow-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

code --add-mcp '{"name":"skillflow","args":["-y","skillflow-mcp-server"],"command":"npx"}'

[mcp_servers.skillflow]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "skillflow-mcp-server"]

Runs locally on your device. Your client starts the server itself, so nothing has to be hosted.
