What the code does

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable packages/mcp/src/detect.ts:36
  const has = (rel: string) => fs.existsSync(path.join(projectDir, rel));
Runs an external command packages/cli/src/index.ts:24
  execSync(`${cmd} "${url}"`);

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add skill-builder-mcp -- npx -y @dmzagent/skill-builder-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-builder-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dmzagent/skill-builder-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-builder-mcp": {
      "args": [

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SKILL_API_URL (Registry API base URL (defaults to https://skills.dmzagent.com/api).), SKILL_TOKEN (Bearer token for private/draft skills (optional).), SKILL_PROJECT_DIR (Default project root that installs write into (defaults to the working directory).), SKILL_TARGET (Force install target: claude | codex | cursor | file (auto-detected by default).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Skill Builder MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Skill Builder MCP?
Skill Builder MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @dmzagent/skill-builder-mcp was installed 47 times last week.
How do I connect Skill Builder MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @dmzagent/skill-builder-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Skill Builder MCP?
The npm package @dmzagent/skill-builder-mcp was installed 47 times in the last week. Week over week that is +26%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Skill Builder MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
