apereoSkillapereo/cas/.claude/skills/cas-mcp-server/SKILL.md
Review and extend the CAS MCP server (support/cas-server-support-mcp): @McpTool beans, security and auditing, optional tool groups, typed results and output schemas, secret redaction, resources and completion, tests and the mcp-server-* scenarios. Use when adding or changing MCP tools, resources or prompts.
AnthropicSkillanthropics/claude-plugins-official/plugins/mcp-server-dev/skills/build-mcp-server/SKILL.md
This skill should be used when the user asks to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP", "make an MCP integration", "wrap an API for Claude", "expose tools to Claude", "make an MCP app", or discusses building something with the Model Context Protocol. It is the entry point for MCP server development — it interrogates the user about their use case, determines the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio), picks a tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills.

samugit83Skillsamugit83/redamon/skills/mcp-server-tools/SKILL.md
Adding, removing or changing a tool on RedAmon's INBOUND MCP server, where external agents connect in with a personal access token. The wiki API reference is generated from the server's live tools/list and goes stale silently, and each tool's annotations and declared scopes are published to connected clients. Trigger: editing a registerTool call in webapp/src/lib/mcp/server.ts; editing tools.ts, writeTools.ts, scopeCopy.ts or apiReference.ts in webapp/src/lib/mcp/; changing the scope list, default scopes, expiry presets or token prefix in webapp/src/lib/mcpAuth.ts.

Guide for using Apollo MCP Server to connect AI agents with GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when: (1) setting up or configuring Apollo MCP Server, (2) defining MCP tools from GraphQL operations, (3) using introspection tools (introspect, search, validate, execute, explorer), (4) configuring authentication, CORS, health checks, or telemetry, (5) writing Rhai scripts for request lifecycle hooks, (6) defining MCP prompts, (7) troubleshooting MCP server connectivity or tool execution issues.

GoogleSkillgoogle/skills/skills/cloud/api-gateway-mcp-server/SKILL.md
Configures Google Cloud API Gateway to act as a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (Public Preview) that exposes REST APIs as agent tools over HTTP (POST /mcp). Use when migrating OpenAPI 2.0 specs to OpenAPI 3.x for MCP, annotating specs with x-google-api-management.mcp and x-google-mcp-tool, securing tools/list with JWTs or API keys, connecting Google ADK (McpToolset) or Apigee API hub and Agent Registry, or troubleshooting MCP JSON-RPC errors (-32601, -32602, -32000). Do not use for Apigee X proxy bundles, outbound LLM model routing, or GKE Gateway API.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/java-mcp-server-generator/SKILL.md
Use this skill when the user wants to create a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in Java or in a Spring Boot app. Also use it when the user wants AI agents, such as GitHub Copilot or Claude, to use Java code, an API, or a database. Use it even if the user does not say "MCP". The skill makes a Maven or Gradle project with the MCP Java SDK 2.x, tools, JUnit tests, and client configuration. Do not use it for Quarkus/Quarkiverse MCP servers (use the `quarkus-mcp-server-sse` instruction), for an MCP client or for a server in another language.

bluesky-socialSkillbluesky-social/atproto/.agents/skills/xrpc-server/SKILL.md
Build or edit routes on an AT Protocol service that uses `@atproto/xrpc-server` — `packages/pds`, `packages/bsky`, `packages/ozone`, or any package whose handlers call `server.add()`. Use when adding or changing an endpoint, wiring `createServer` into Express, reading params/input/auth in a handler, returning JSON, binary, streamed, or empty responses, setting response headers, throwing XRPC protocol errors, applying per-route rate limits or body limits, or exposing a WebSocket subscription. To migrate a service off the legacy generated server stack, use the lexification-server skill instead. For calls the service makes *out* to other services, use the lex-client skill.

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
