Overview

Skillz is an MCP server that transforms Claude-style skills (SKILL.md plus optional resources) into callable tools for any MCP client. It discovers skills in specified directories, exposes their instructions and resources, and can run bundled helper scripts. The server supports both flat and nested directory structures, as well as zip or .skill archives for skill packaging. Despite being experimental, it provides clear documentation and multiple installation paths.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 6 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Adding Claude skills to non-Claude AI agents like Codex, Copilot, and Cursor
you:Creating a skills marketplace and directory system (Skills Supermarket)
you:Extending Gemini CLI with Anthropic-style agent skills
you:What skills formats are supported?
you:Is Skillz compatible with Claude Code?
you:Where can I find skills to use with Skillz?

When to choose this

Choose Skillz when you want to use Claude-style skills in non-Claude AI clients or need more flexible skill organization than Claude Code provides.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose Skillz if you're only working within Claude's ecosystem where native skill support already exists, or if you require extensive authentication/authorization models as it's designed for local skill management.

  }
}
