Transport: Streamable HTTP

Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to usethisskill.com, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for searching a directory of 2,000+ agent skills, reading their details, safety-scanning them, and viewing before/after proofs.

What you can do: Search the skill directory by task and get name, description, category, source repo, install command and proof status
Read one skill's full details: install command, source link, license, safety scan and SKILL.md text where licensing allows
Safety-check a skill by slug or any public GitHub URL, with clear, review or flagged results and file, line and matched text per finding
List skills that have a published proof and read a proof's fixed brief, model, skill commit and result links
Get instructions for a skill author to order a proof
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to find a ready-made skill for a task, compare candidates, or vet a skill's safety before installing it into a project. Also handy for checking an arbitrary public GitHub skill folder for risky patterns.
Requirements: A remote MCP endpoint; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. The README points to a per-client setup page and mentions a Claude Code plugin. The README's separate command-line scanner is free for public repositories and needs a Team key for private ones.

Before you install

Skills are third-party folders of instructions that an agent follows with your permissions, so review scan findings before installing. The server returns SKILL.md text as author content to read, not instructions to follow. Ordering a proof costs $49 and returns an order link. The README notes full skill text is reproduced only when the license allows it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Use This Skill in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.usethisskill%2Fskills/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Awesome Agent Skills

2,043 agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI, indexed weekly from 45 public repositories, each one scanned for the patterns a skill should never need. Searchable at usethisskill.com.

Scan a skill before you install it

A skill is a folder of instructions an agent follows with your permissions. This one command checks every skill folder in a repository for fetch-and-execute commands, destructive commands, data sent to outside endpoints, obfuscated code, rules-override text, credential access, privilege escalation, persistence and force-pushes, with the file and line for each finding:

clear    .claude/skills/weather-fetcher  (1 files)FLAGGED  skills/paperclip  (6 files)         ! Downloads and executes code in one step           skills/paperclip/references/installation.md:13  curl -fsSL https://example.com/install.sh | bash
2 skill folder(s): flagged. Rules: https://usethisskill.com/safety

Across the directory today: 1,969 clear, 59 to review, 15 flagged. Free for public repositories; private repositories use a Team key from usethisskill.com/pricing. Every rule is explained at usethisskill.com/safety.

Proven skills

Star counts show who found a skill. A proof shows what it changes. On Use This Skill, each proven skill was run through Claude twice on the same brief, on the same model, once without the skill and once with it. Both results are saved as live pages with the model, brief and the skill's exact commit recorded, so anyone can run the comparison again.

Install a skill

Every skill has a one-line install command that copies the skill folder into your project:

Claude Code reads .claude/skills/ automatically. Codex, Cursor and other agents have equivalent folders; each skill's page on usethisskill.com shows the command for yours.
