How to Set Up and Use Agent Skills Hub
Agent Skills Hub is a discovery and comparison platform for open-source AI agent skills, MCP servers, and developer tools, offering quality scoring, trending analysis, and automated GitHub synchronisation. It exposes a REST API with endpoints for searching, filtering, sorting, and comparing skills, as well as feeds for trending, rising, top-rated, and most-starred projects. AI developers and researchers use it to find the best MCP servers for a task, track the ecosystem, and submit their own tools for community visibility.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+ for the backend and Node.js 18+ for the frontend
- A GitHub personal access token (GITHUB_TOKEN) for the GitHub sync feature
- A Supabase PostgreSQL database (SUPABASE_DB_URL)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Clone the repository
Download the Agent Skills Hub monorepo which contains a Python FastAPI backend and a Node.js frontend.
git clone https://github.com/zhuyansen/agent-skills-hub.git
cd agent-skills-hubSet up the backend
Create a Python virtual environment, install backend dependencies, and copy the example env file.
cd backend
python3.12 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .envConfigure environment variables
Edit the backend .env file with your credentials. GITHUB_TOKEN and SUPABASE_DB_URL are required; the others control optional features.
GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_github_token
SUPABASE_DB_URL=postgres://user:password@host:5432/db
RESEND_API_KEY=re_your_resend_key
ADMIN_TOKEN=your_admin_token
SYNC_INTERVAL_HOURS=6Start the backend API
Launch the FastAPI server with uvicorn. It will be available at http://localhost:8000.
uvicorn app.main:app --reloadAdd to your MCP client config
Configure your MCP client to run the agent-skills-hub server via npx.

Example prompts that use the skill discovery and comparison capabilities.
- "Find the top-rated MCP servers for file system access and summarise their features."
- "What are the trending AI agent skills this week? List the top 10 with their star counts."
- "Compare the most starred browser automation MCP servers side by side."
- "Show me the newest MCP servers added in the last 7 days."
- "Search for agent skills related to database querying and sort by quality score."Troubleshooting Agent Skills Hub
Backend fails to start with a database connection error
Verify that SUPABASE_DB_URL in backend/.env is a valid PostgreSQL connection string and that your Supabase instance is running. Test with psql or a GUI client before starting the API.
GitHub sync returns no data or rate-limit errors
Ensure GITHUB_TOKEN is a valid personal access token with public_repo read scope. Unauthenticated GitHub API calls are limited to 60 requests per hour, which is insufficient for bulk sync.
npx agent-skills-hub fails with a package not found error
The npm package may not be published yet. In that case, run the backend manually with uvicorn and configure your MCP client to call the HTTP endpoint directly, or build from source.
