Awesome Agent Skills MCP Server

MCP server with 100+ AI agent skills from Anthropic, Vercel, Trail of Bits, Hugging Face & more. This MCP entry surfaces a curated ranking/list from the project README rather than a classic multi-tool integration surface. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
