Skillflow MCP Server
Search, discover, and install 500+ AI agent skills from the SkillFlow marketplace. This MCP entry surfaces a curated ranking/list from the project README rather than a classic multi-tool integration surface. It still exposes 5 documented tools (including search_skills, get_skill_details, list_categories) for browsing or selecting items from that list.
People who work with marketplace, skillflow and skills and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
