Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mcpskillsio/server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCPSKILLS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add server --env MCPSKILLS_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @mcpskillsio/server

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mcpskillsio/server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCPSKILLS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "server": {

      ],
      "env": {

    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

MCPSKILLS_API_KEY secret env
Optional Pro API key for higher rate limits and full reports.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Mcpskills MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: MCPSKILLS_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.5.3) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@mcpskillsio/server

Use the MCPSkills pre-install trust layer from inside Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.

13 standard signals (15 in Skills Mode) across 4 dimensions with safety scanning for prompt injection, credential theft, and supply chain attacks. Check install risk before an MCP server or AI skill reaches your agent.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add mcpskills -- npx @mcpskillsio/server

Cursor

Add to your .cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "mcpskills": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@mcpskillsio/server"] } } }

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "mcpskills": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@mcpskillsio/server"] } } }

Tools

`check_trust_score`

Score any GitHub repo, npm package, or registry URL. Returns trust tier, composite score, and 4 dimension scores.

"Score anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript"

`scan_safety`

Focused safety scan for AI skills. Checks for prompt injection, shell execution, network exfiltration, credential theft, and obfuscated payloads.

"Is this MCP server safe? modelcontextprotocol/servers"

`list_packages`

Browse curated, pre-scored skill packages organized by use case.

"Show me safe AI skill packages for full-stack development"

`get_badge`

Generate an SVG trust badge URL for your README.

"Get a trust badge for my repo anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript"

`watch_repo`

Start monitoring a repo for trust score changes (requires API key).

"Watch modelcontextprotocol/servers for score changes"

`check_watched`

Re-scan all watched repos for score or tier changes (requires API key).

"Check my watched repos"

`batch_check`

Score up to 5 repos in a single call (Developer Pro or Team).

"Batch check these repos: anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript, langchain-ai/langchainjs"

`auto_gate`

Get a boolean go/no-go decision with reasoning.

"Should I install this MCP server? 21st-dev/magic-mcp"

`build_stack`

Recommend a vetted, pre-scored stack from MCP Skills' curated packages.

"Build me a stack: auth + payments + email"

Full Reports

Free tier returns trust tier + dimension scores (same as mcpskills.io free scans, 10/day).

For full reports (13 standard / 15 Skills Mode signals + safety findings) inside your IDE, set your API key:

export MCPSKILLS_API_KEY=your_key_here

Get your API key at mcpskills.io/api. Developer Pro is $19/mo or $149/yr. Team is $99/mo for org/security workflows.

How It Works

The server calls the mcpskills.io trust scoring API, which:

Fetches repo data from GitHub API and OpenSSF Scorecard
Scores 13 standard signals across 4 dimensions (Alive, Legit, Solid, Usable)
Detects AI skills/MCP servers and activates Skills Mode (+2 bonus signals — 15 total)
Runs 5 safety scans based on ClawHavoc and ToxicSkills attack patterns
Assigns a trust tier: Verified (>=7.0), Established (>=4.5), New, or Blocked
