Demo

🎯 Why?

Agent skills and MCP servers are trending, but local procedural knowledge is still trapped in loose Markdown files. Memory MCP servers store facts, not reusable runbooks, and coding agents lack a zero-dependency way to discover team skills. skilltap bridges that gap by indexing a skills folder and exposing safe list/get/search tools over MCP stdio.

Target audience: Developers and platform teams building with Claude Code, Cursor, or custom MCP agents who want reusable, version-controlled operational skills without running extra infrastructure.

✨ Features

  • Scans a directory of Markdown skills with simple frontmatter and safe path handling
  • Exposes list_skills, get_skill, and search_skills MCP tools over stdio
  • Includes a human CLI for listing, searching, printing, and inspecting tools
