Questions

What is the skillsync-mcp MCP server?

Provide an MCP server that enables seamless integration and management of SkillsMP data with Node.js environments supporting Model Context Protocol.

What tools does skillsync-mcp expose?

13 in total: 8 read-only, 4 that write, and 1 that can delete or overwrite (skillsmp_uninstall_skill). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is skillsync-mcp safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (65/100) and found 2 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does skillsync-mcp need?

It reads SKILLSMP_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does skillsync-mcp run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as @stranzwersweb2/skillsync-mcp at 1.4.1.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (919134842e4a), read on 2026-10-12. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
