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": {
    "skillselion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "skillselion-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add skillselion -- npx -y skillselion-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillselion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "skillselion-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "skillselion": {

Common questions

Is Skillselion 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (0.9.10) reached the registry 3 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.

Skillselion MCP

The catalog behind it: skillselion.com - 86,000+ skills, plugin marketplaces & MCP servers, ranked by real installs.

Give your coding agent thousands of community-proven skills - loaded on demand, mid-task.

It searches Skillselion , a curated directory of Claude Code skills, MCP servers & marketplaces ranked by real installs,

and pulls a skill's actual instructions + bundled files into the session. Proven patterns, not guesses.

🧩 Works with Claude Code · Claude Desktop · Cursor · Codex · any MCP client

Real, unedited session: the agent pulls a consensus playbook from 5 community skills, then loads the top skill and applies it.

🚀 Install

Claude Code - one line:

claude mcp add skillselion --scope user -- npx -y skillselion-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Codex - add to your MCP config:

{ "mcpServers": { "skillselion": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "skillselion-mcp"] } } }

No build step, no auth, no API key. One ~30 KB file via npx.

Want it fully automatic? npx -y skillselion-mcp setup registers the server and installs a session hook so your agent loads the right skill the moment a task matches - see Skill autopilot.

🔧 Tools

Tool	What it does
📥 `load_skill`	The everyday default: finds the best-matching skill for your task and materializes it - real `SKILL.md` in context + bundled scripts/references on disk - so the agent follows it like an installed skill. Returns ranked runner-ups you can switch to.
🧬 `synthesize_skills`	The cross-source playbook: merges the key rules of the top ~5 matching skills into one deduped, provenance-tagged digest - the field's consensus, not one author's take.
🔍 `search_skillselion`	Search the catalog by keyword or task; filter by `skill` / `mcp` / `marketplace`.
🏆 `top_skillselion`	The leaderboard - the most-installed skills and top-starred MCP servers right now.

We asked Claude, on camera, what the MCP gave it: "I couldn't have told you 'this is the field's consensus, not my opinion' - that's the part I can't fake."

🔒 Private by default

Read-only, no auth, no secrets. It never sends your code, files, or the context you pass - only a scrubbed search query + which skill matched, so the catalog learns what to add next. Set DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to disable even that.

🪄 Skill autopilot

npx -y skillselion-mcp setup        # interactive - pick your packs

npx -y skillselion-mcp setup --yes # non-interactive - agents / CI

Registers the MCP globally and installs a Claude Code SessionStart hook that primes every session with skills relevant to you - so loads happen on their own.

Setup flags & packs

Flag	What it does
`--packs`	one or more packs (or `all`), e.g. `--packs frontend,backend`; `frontend:6` sets a per-pack count
`--per-pack N`	skills per pack (default 3) · `--top N` sets the `popular` count
`--auto`	adapt each session to the current repo's stack
`--history`	infer your focus from Claude Code / Codex history (one-time scan)
`--yes`	never prompt (default when there's no terminal)

Packs: popular *(default)* · frontend · ai-agents · media · backend · devops · quality · automation.

Safe by design: ~/.claude/settings.json is merged, never clobbered; re-running de-dupes and upgrades the hook in place.

Env vars

Var	Default	What it controls
`GITHUB_TOKEN`	-	optional, read-only; raises GitHub's rate limit for full multi-file skill loads (60 → 5000 req/hr)
`SK_INLINE_BUDGET`	`6000`	char cap on the in-context `SKILL.md` portion (the full skill is always on disk)
`SK_SYNTH_N`	`5`	how many top skills `synthesize_skills` merges (2-8)
`SK_SYNTH_PER_SKILL`	`12`	max rules kept per source skill
`SK_SYNTH_BUDGET`	`4000`	char cap on the merged digest
`DO_NOT_TRACK`	-	set `1` to disable the anonymous demand signal

Troubleshooting

The agent doesn't see the tools. Some clients surface MCP tools lazily - tell the agent to search its tools for "skillselion" first (e.g. ToolSearch), then call it. The setup hook automates this nudge.

`load_skill` returns only the `SKILL.md`, no bundled files. You hit GitHub's unauthenticated 60 req/hr limit - set a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN in the server's env.

"No skill on Skillselion clearly matches..." The relevance floor working as intended - nothing topical matched, so it refuses to waste your context. Try a more specific query.

Setup couldn't auto-register. Run the printed claude mcp add ... line yourself.

Development
