SkillsSAFE
Bring Claude's Skills pattern to any MCP-compatible agent
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Transform any AI agent into a domain expert by giving it access to modular, reusable skills through the Model Context Protocol.
Inspired by [Claude Skills](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/overview): This MCP server brings Claude's Skills pattern to any MCP-compatible agent.
- What: An MCP server that brings Claude's Skills format to any MCP-compatible agent
- Why: Create skills once, use them everywhere—across Claude, VS Code, Cursor, and any MCP tool
- How: Point the server at your skills directory and agents discover them automatically
Quick Setup
The fastest way to get started is with npx. Choose your platform:
Claude Code
Create .mcp.json in your project or ~/.claude.json globally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skills-mcp": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skills-mcp", "-s", "/absolute/path/to/skills"]
}
}
}Claude for Desktop
Create ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skills-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skills-mcp", "-s", "/absolute/path/to/skills"]
}
}
}Cursor
Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skills-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skills-mcp", "-s", "/absolute/path/to/skills"]
}
}
}VS Code
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project:
{
"servers": {
"skills-mcp": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skills-mcp", "-s", "/absolute/path/to/skills"]
}
}
}Replace /absolute/path/to/skills with your actual skills directory path.

Questions
What is the Skills MCP server?
Bring Claude's Skills pattern to any MCP-compatible agent
What tools does Skills expose?
2 in total: 2 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Skills safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Skills need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does Skills run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as skills-mcp at 0.0.5.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (32ac5a6df53d), read on 2026-10-09. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
