SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Skillz MCP Server converts Claude-style skills (SKILL.md files plus optional resources) into callable tools for MCP clients. It discovers each skill, exposes instructions and resources, and can run bundled helper scripts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill discovery: Automatically finds and exposes each skill found under a root skills directory via SKILL.md frontmatter.
  • Resource exposure: Makes instructions, references, and assets available to MCP clients for guided automation.
  • Scriptable automation: Runs bundled helper scripts to perform complex tasks within containerized MCP environments.
  • Use Case: Wire a skill into a GitHub Action to transform natural-language intents into concrete automated steps.

Quick Start

Configure Skillz as a MCP server in your workflow frontmatter, mount your skills directory, and reference SKILL.md to execute a skill.
