Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
SkillsmpCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Configure the server by adding a skillsmp entry to your MCP client configuration (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Opencode, Google Antigravity, Roo Code, or GitHub Copilot). Pass your SkillsMP API key via the SKILLSMP_API_KEY environment variable. After setup, the server’s tools become available to your AI assistant. For example, you can search skills, perform semantic searches, list skills in a repository, or install skills.
skillsmp_search
Search SkillsMP marketplace for AI coding skills by keywords. Parameters: - query: Search terms (e.g., "fastapi", "react testing") - page: Page number (default: 1) - limit: Results per page (default: 20, max: 100) - sort_by: "stars" (default) or "recent" Returns skills with name, description, author, stars, and GitHub URL.
skillsmp_ai_search
Semantic search for skills using natural language queries. Powered by AI to understand intent. Use this when keywords aren't enough - describe what you want to accomplish. Parameters: - query: Natural language query (e.g., "How to build REST APIs with authentication") Examples: "tools for web scraping", "help with React testing", "automate deployments"
skillsmp_get_skill_content
Read skill file content (SKILL.md) from a GitHub repository. Use to preview a skill before installing. Parameters: - owner: GitHub username/org (e.g., "anthropics") - repo: Repository name (e.g., "claude-code") - path: Path to skill folder (e.g., "plugins/frontend-design/skills/frontend-design") - branch: Git branch (default: "main") If path has no skill.md, returns directory listing.
skillsmp_list_repo_skills
List all available skills in a GitHub repository without installing. Parameters: - source: GitHub shorthand "owner/repo" (e.g., "anthropics/claude-code") Returns skill names and descriptions found in the repository.
skillsmp_install_skill
Install skills from GitHub to AI coding agents. Parameters: - source: GitHub "owner/repo" (e.g., "anthropics/claude-code") [REQUIRED] - skills: Skill names, comma-separated (e.g., "frontend-design,backend-dev") [REQUIRED] - agents: Target agents, comma-separated [REQUIRED] Valid: claude-code, cursor, codex, opencode, antigravity, github-copilot, roo - global: Install user-level instead of project-level (default: false) Example: source="anthropics/claude-code", skills="frontend-design", agents="claude-code"
