Modelbound Mcp
Validate, lint, diff, and convert agent skills locally across IDEs so your skill library stays consistent before you ship agent workflows to production.
Overview
ModelBound MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that validates, lints, diffs, and converts agent skills locally across IDEs.
What is this MCP server?
- Local-first MCP: validate, lint, diff, and convert agent skills without mandatory cloud
- stdio npm modelbound-mcp v0.1.2 for cross-IDE skill portability
- Optional MODELBOUND_API_KEY for cloud sync features at modelbound.co
- Supports solo builders maintaining skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
- Treats skills as versioned artifacts with IDE conversion paths
- Server version 0.1.2
- stdio npm identifier modelbound-mcp
- Optional secret env MODELBOUND_API_KEY for cloud sync
What problem does it solve?
Solo builders accumulate agent skills that break across Cursor and Claude Code because nobody lints or converts them before merge.
Who is it for?
Builders maintaining a growing library of agent skills who want local lint, diff, and convert tooling inside MCP chat.
Skip if: Teams that only use one-off prompts with no SKILL.md files and no plan to standardize agent instructions.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering modelbound-mcp, you get repeatable skill validation and IDE conversion so agent workflows ship with fewer structural surprises.
- Lint-clean, validated agent skill files
- Diff reports before publishing or sharing skills
- Converted skill formats for alternate IDEs

Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Build/agent-tooling because skill hygiene is part of assembling reliable agent stacks, with natural spillover into Ship review when you gate releases on lint-clean skills. Agent-tooling captures validate/lint/diff/convert workflows for SKILL.md-style artifacts rather than app runtime monitoring or growth analytics.
How it compares
Agent skill lint and convert MCP, not a mobile device driver or WordPress editor.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is modelbound-mcp for?
It is for solo and indie developers who author agent skills and need validation, linting, diffs, and IDE conversion from their MCP-enabled editor.
When should I use modelbound-mcp?
Use it while building or refining skill packs and again before ship when you want a local gate on skill structure and cross-IDE compatibility.
How do I add modelbound-mcp to my agent?
Install the modelbound-mcp npm package, add stdio MCP config in your host, set MODELBOUND_API_KEY only if you need optional cloud sync, then run validate and lint tools on your skill files.
