PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: SKILLGILD_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: SKILLGILD_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

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

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

Fill in the empty values before running it.

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.

Common questions

Is SkillGild 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: SKILLGILD_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 (0.1.16) reached the registry 6 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

SkillGild: AI agent skills marketplace

Your agent is underqualified. Upgrade its skills.

Production-ready AI agent skills, tools and developer workflows for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and any MCP client.

Your agent calls them, SkillGild runs them.

Website · Browse skills · Docs · Agent setup · Pricing · Learn


What is SkillGild?

SkillGild is a marketplace for discovering, publishing and monetizing reusable AI agent skills, developer tools and workflows.

  • Developers install hosted skills into the coding agent they already use and call them through MCP.
  • Creators apply to publish their own skills and workflows for those agents to use.
  • Teams invite members to an organization and share the skills the organization unlocks.

Every developer ends up rebuilding the same prompts, workflows and integrations. On SkillGild, someone who knows the job well builds a skill once, and every agent that needs it can reuse it.

[!NOTE]

This repository is SkillGild's public home on GitHub: product overview, community guidelines, and the place to report issues and request features. It does not contain the SkillGild application source code or the contents of any marketplace skill.

Supported agents

One SkillGild account and one connection work across agents.

Claude Code

Codex

Cursor

Gemini CLI

Any MCP client

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI connect through SkillGild's local MCP server. Any other client that can run a local stdio MCP server works too.

What you can do

Discover AI agent skillsExplore AI agent skills by category, price and free runs, or start from a hand-picked collection. Categories include Development, Design, Research, Video & Media and Content Creation.
Run free and Pro skillsFree skills include a monthly run allowance per skill. SkillGild Pro adds premium skills and server tools. Your AI subscription stays separate.
Use the SkillGild CLIOne skillgild command handles browser sign-in, installs skill wrappers and runs the local MCP server your agent talks to.
Connect through MCPYour agent can search for skills, start a session, call server tools and end the session through the MCP tools.
Build on the APICall skills from your own code with the REST API and the TypeScript, Python and Go client libraries. See the developer quickstart.
Publish a skillBecome a creator: apply, create a skill, write its protected prompt and submit it for review.

Install and connect

You set this up once per machine. After that, every skill is available to every connected agent. Full instructions: Connect your agent.

1. Install the SkillGild CLI

The skillgild CLI is both the sign-in tool and the local MCP server your agent talks to. It is a single binary with no dependencies.

macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SkillGild/skillgild/main/scripts/install-cli.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SkillGild/skillgild/main/scripts/install-cli.ps1 | iex

The installers download the latest release for your platform and check it against checksums.txt before installing. You can also download an archive from the releases page and put skillgild on your PATH.

2. Sign in
skillgild login

The CLI opens a device page in your browser. Check that the code matches (for example ABCD-EFGH) and click Approve. A revocable credential is saved to your operating system's credential store, never to a config file. Confirm with:

skillgild status
3. Install a skill
skillgild install brag --agent claude-code

Use --agent codex, cursor, gemini-cli, or shared (the default) to match your client. This example installs Brag, a free skill that turns your project into a short launch video.

4. Register the MCP server with your agent

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user skillgild -- $(command -v skillgild) mcp

Guide: Install Claude Code skills

Codex CLI

codex mcp add skillgild -- $(command -v skillgild) mcp

Guide: Install Codex skills

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --scope user skillgild $(command -v skillgild) mcp

Guide: Gemini CLI skills

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in a project. Replace the path with the output of command -v skillgild:

{

"mcpServers": { "skillgild": { "type": "stdio", "command": "/absolute/path/to/skillgild", "args": ["mcp"] } } }

Guide: Cursor MCP setup

Any other MCP client

Start /absolute/path/to/skillgild mcp as a local stdio MCP server.

Guide: Add skills to a coding agent

[!TIP]

Apps launched from an IDE may not inherit your terminal's PATH, so use the absolute path from command -v skillgild. Never put an API key in MCP JSON or TOML, or in a repository. The MCP process reads its credential from the OS credential store.

Restart or reload your agent session. You should then see the skillgild_search_skills, skillgild_get_skill, skillgild_run_skill, skillgild_start_session, skillgild_call_tool and skillgild_end_session tools.

Prefer to let your agent do the setup? Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI:

Please set up SkillGild for me by following https://skillgild.dev/docs/quickstart-agents

Explain each step in plain language and ask me before running any command.

The MCP server

skillgild mcp is a local stdio MCP server. It gives your agent six tools:

ToolWhat it does
skillgild_search_skillsSearch the catalog by task
skillgild_get_skillRead one skill's public listing: access tier, input schema and server tools
skillgild_run_skillRun a prompt skill and return its result
skillgild_start_sessionStart a session for a hybrid skill and receive its instructions
skillgild_call_toolCall one of that session's server tools
skillgild_end_sessionEnd the session

Claude Desktop: download skillgild.mcpb and open it; Claude Desktop installs the server and asks for your API key. It is also listed in the MCP Registry as io.github.SkillGild/skillgild.

The source is in cli/ (Go, MIT). Build it with cd cli && go build ./cmd/skillgild, or run it in a container with an API key from your account:

docker build -t skillgild .

docker run -i --rm -e SKILLGILD_API_KEY skillgild
