Skills MCP

Clone the skills-mcp-server repository and build the TypeScript source to produce the runnable dist/main.js file.

git clone https://github.com/amazingashis/mcp-deployment.git
cd mcp-deployment
npm install
npm run build

Create a directory containing your skill packs. Each skill should be a subdirectory with a SKILL.md file describing the skill's capabilities, parameters, and usage. Set the SKILLS_ROOT environment variable to point to this directory.

mkdir -p ~/my-skills/web-search
# Place SKILL.md files in subdirectories

Start the MCP server in stdio mode by running the compiled JavaScript file with the SKILLS_ROOT environment variable set.

SKILLS_ROOT=/path/to/your/skills node /path/to/dist/main.js

Add the skills server to your MCP client configuration file, pointing to the built dist/main.js and your skills directory.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skills": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-deployment/dist/main.js"],
      "env": {
        "SKILLS_ROOT": "/absolute/path/to/your/skills"
      }
    }
  }
}

The server exposes three tools: list_skills (enumerate all available skill packs), search_skills (BM25-ranked keyword search), and get_skill (retrieve a specific skill's full content by ID). Skills are also accessible as resources at skills://skill/{skillId}.
