What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call list_skill_folders.command → packages/adapter/src/runtime/shell.ts:47
      const child = spawn(shell, ["-lc", input.command], {
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.

  return file ? path.join(dir, file.name) : undefined;
Runs an external command packages/adapter/src/runtime/shell.ts:47
      const child = spawn(shell, ["-lc", input.command], {

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

        "-y",
        "skill-deck"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SKILL_DECK_SKILLS_ROOT (Absolute path to the local Skill root directory exposed through SkillDeck.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Skill Deck — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Skill Deck?
Skill Deck 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 skill-deck was installed 31 times last week.
How do I connect Skill Deck?
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 skill-deck straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Skill Deck?
The npm package skill-deck was installed 31 times in the last week. Week over week that is -24%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Skill Deck open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
