skillz
Skillz is an MCP server that allows the use of Claude-style skills in various agents.
Skillz is a proof-of-concept MCP server designed to turn Claude-style skills into callable tools for any MCP client. It discovers each skill, exposes the authored instructions and resources, and can run bundled helper scripts. Users can install skills from the Skills Supermarket directory and run the server with a simple configuration. The server can be run directly or through Docker for added isolation. Users can mount their skills directory and pass arguments directly to the Skillz CLI, making it flexible and easy to integrate into existing workflows. This allows for a wide range of applications and enhances the capabilities of MCP clients.
