# Claude Skills MCP (MCP server)

> Claude Skills MCP is an MCP server that adds developer tools to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor. MCP server for searching and retrieving Scientific Agent Skills using vector search. It has 409 GitHub stars, is released under the Apache-2.0 license and runs locally with uvx claude-skills-mcp.

This MCP server is no longer hosted or maintained. Agent Skills have been natively adopted by all major AI platforms — Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Copilot, and others now support skills out of the box. There is no longer a need for an MCP bridge to deliver skills to your coding assistant. The final release (v1.1.0) remains installable from PyPI. Thank you to everyone who used and contributed to this project!
