SkillFlow MCP Server
Connect AI coding agents to the SkillFlow AI skills marketplace. Live data. Zero config. One command.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI coding agents to the SkillFlow 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
