Agent Skills Search Server
Query the skills.sh registry from Claude, Cursor, or Codex to find and compare Agent Skills before you commit to a stack.
Overview
skills-search is an MCP server for the Idea phase that lets agents search and discover Agent Skills from the skills.sh registry.
What is this MCP server?
- Search Agent Skills published on skills.sh via HAPI-generated MCP tools
- Powered by HAPI MCP—OpenAPI-derived tools without a separate skill rewrite
- Fits early journey research when you need catalog parity with skills.sh from inside the agent
- Portable skill-folder format context (SKILL.md, scripts, references) documented by the upstream Agent Skills project
- Discord community linked for registry and skills-format support
- Backed by HAPI MCP (OpenAPI-in, MCP-tools-out)
- Indexes the public skills.sh Agent Skills registry
Community signal: 20.2k GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
You waste time tab-switching to skills.sh and guessing which community skills match your agent workflow.
Who is it for?
Indie builders evaluating Claude Code or Cursor skills libraries at the start of a new agent-heavy project.
Skip if: Teams that already pinned a fixed skill set and do not need ongoing registry search.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can query the registry in chat and narrow skill candidates before you install anything.
- Registry search results for Agent Skills
- Shortlists of skill names/descriptions to install manually
- Faster tooling research inside the agent session
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Discovery of installable skills belongs on the shelf where builders still choose tooling, before full implementation. The server’s purpose is search and registry discovery, which maps directly to the discover subphase under Idea.
How it compares
Registry search MCP integration, not a bundled SKILL.md workflow skill.
