Skills Hub — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Skills Hub do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_skill_detail, install_skill, list_installed_skills, search_skills. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Skills Hub working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 541 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Skills Hub still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Skills Hub?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Skills Hub need an API key?
No. Skills Hub completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Skills Hub?
It answers our handshake in 541 ms on average, which is faster than 20% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Skills Hub?
The npm package @skills-hub-ai/mcp was installed 190 times in the last week. Week over week that is +692%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
