> Connect AI coding agents to the SkillFlow AI skills marketplace. Live data. Zero config. One command.

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that connects AI coding agents to the [SkillFlow](https://skillflow.builders) marketplace — a curated AI skills marketplace with trust metrics and performance data.

## Why SkillFlow?

AI agents are the new users. Instead of browsing a website, agents can now **programmatically search, discover, and evaluate skills** from SkillFlow using the MCP protocol.

> "It's 2026. Build. For. Agents." — Andrej Karpathy

**Key benefits:**
- **Live API** — real-time data from the SkillFlow backend, not hardcoded
- **Curated skills** across 6 business categories with performance metrics
- **Trust metrics** — success rates, run counts, ratings, and speed benchmarks
- **Zero config** — no API keys, no environment variables, just `npx`
- **Works everywhere** — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible agent

## Transports

This server supports two transports:

| Transport | Use Case | Command |
|-----------|----------|----------|
| **stdio** | Local use with Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc. | `npx skillflow-mcp-server` |
| **Streamable HTTP** | Remote access via Smithery.ai, cloud agents | `skillflow-mcp-http` or `npm start:http` |

## Quick Start (stdio — Local)

### One-liner (npx)

```bash
npx skillflow-mcp-server
```

### Claude Desktop

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "skillflow-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Cursor

Add to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "skillflow-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Windsurf / VS Code / Other MCP Clients

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "skillflow-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Global Installation
