--- name: mcp-skill-gen-f7ed515d8880 description: Generate standalone skills from MCP servers. Use when users want to create a reusable skill for an MCP service. Triggers on "create skill for MCP", "generate MCP skill", "make skill from MCP server". --- # MCP Skill Generator Generate reusable skills from any MCP server using `mh` CLI. ## Prerequisites - `mh` CLI must be installed. If not available, install with: ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaayne/mcphub/main/scripts/install.sh | sh ``` ## Workflow ### 1. Gather Input | Parameter | Required | Default | Example | | --------- | -------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------ | | URL | No | - | `https://mcp.exa.ai` | | Config | No | - | `./mcp.json` | | Transport | No | `http` | `http` or `sse` | | Name | No | from URL or config | `exa-search` | | Output | No | `.//SKILL.md` | `./skills/exa-search/SKILL.md` | Notes: - `--url/-u` and `--config/-c` are mutually exclusive - Config mode uses the tool names returned by `mh list`, with JS-style name mapping and collision checks ### 2. Discover Tools URL mode: ```bash mh -u -t list ``` Stdio mode: ```bash mh --stdio list -- cmd args ... ``` Config mode: ```bash mh -c list ``` ### 3. Generate Skill Read `references/skill-template.md`, fill placeholders: `{skill-name}`, `{description}`, `{Title}`, `{url}`, `{transport}`, `{tool-count}`, `{tools-list}`, `{usage-block}`, `{notes-block}`. Usage blocks: URL mode: ``` List tools: `mh -u {url} -t {transport} list` Get tool details: `mh -u {url} -t {transport} inspect ` Invoke tool: `mh -u {url} -t {transport} invoke '{"param": "value"}'` ``` Config mode (use local config file name): ``` List tools: `mh -c {config-file} list` Get tool details: `mh -c {config-file} inspect ` Invoke tool: `mh -c {config-file} invoke '{"param": "value"}'` ``` Notes blocks: URL mode: ``` - Run `inspect` before invoking unfamiliar tools to get full parameter schema - Timeout: 30s default, use `--timeout ` to adjust ``` Config mode: ``` - Run `inspect` before invoking unfamiliar tools to get full parameter schema - Timeout: 30s default, use `--timeout ` to adjust ``` ### 4. Write Output Save to output path, create directories if needed. If input is a config file, copy it into the generated skill folder as `config.json` and set `{config-file}` in the usage block to `./config.json`, relative to the generated `SKILL.md` location. ## Naming Guidelines **Name**: Focus on capability, not source. Pattern: `{source}-{capability}` (kebab-case, 2-3 words) | URL | Tools | Good | Bad | | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ----------------- | --------- | | `https://mcp.exa.ai` | webSearchExa, getCodeContextExa | `mcp-exa-search` | `exa` | | `https://api.example.com/weather` | getWeather, getForecast | `mcp-weather-api` | `weather` | **Description**: `{Action + capability}. Use when {conditions}. Triggers on "{phrase1}", "{phrase2}".` - Start with action verb (Search, Fetch, Get, Create, Analyze) - Include 3-5 trigger phrases, mention service name, keep under 200 chars ## Error Handling | Error | Action | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | Connection timeout | Verify URL, check network, increase `--timeout` | | No tools returned | Server may require auth or have no tools | | Transport mismatch | Try `http` first, fall back to `sse` | --- Source attribution: Dicklesworthstone Original project: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/blob/f28fc46ee0db8e710d95b8b55592cd38d60f2b26/tests/ext_conformance/artifacts/npm/vaayne-agent-kit/mcphub/mcp-skill-gen/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 LiuVaayne Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
