Claude Skills MCP Server

Claude Skills MCP Server

Claude Skills MCP Server is an MCP server that enables intelligent search and retrieval of Claude Agent Skills using vector embeddings and semantic similarity. It implements a progressive disclosure architecture so AI applications can discover and load skills in stages (metadata → full content → files) while remaining fast and local. The server can load skills from multiple sources, including Official Anthropic Skills, K-Dense AI Scientific Skills, and local directories, providing a zero-configuration experience out of the box for Cursor or standalone usage. The architecture is split into a lightweight frontend and a heavy backend, enabling instant startup and background backend download, with no API keys required and the ability to connect to remote hosted backends if desired.

External MCP Server

External MCP Server

Neurolink includes an External MCP Server capability, enabling seamless integration with external Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This feature loads and manages external MCP servers from a dedicated configuration file (.mcp-config.json), enables real JSON-RPC based communication, and supports end-to-end tool execution within the NeuroLink platform. It is designed for multi-provider AI workflows, allowing providers to delegate tool execution to external servers while preserving type safety, robust error handling, and deterministic behavior. The documentation highlights how to configure external MCP servers, register and discover tools, and perform end-to-end tool execution through the CLI, ensuring a production-ready MCP ecosystem.
