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 server -- npx -y @mcpskillsio/server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mcpskillsio/server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.server]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@mcpskillsio/server"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mcpskillsio/server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mcpskillsio/server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCPSKILLS_API_KEY (Optional Pro API key for higher rate limits and full reports.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Mcpskills — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Mcpskills?
Mcpskills 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 @mcpskillsio/server was installed 139 times last week.
How do I connect Mcpskills?
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 @mcpskillsio/server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Mcpskills?
The npm package @mcpskillsio/server was installed 139 times in the last week. Week over week that is +5%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Mcpskills open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
