SkillsPicker MCP Server

About SkillsPicker

SkillsPicker matches a software project to open-license agent skills (SKILL.md) for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and other coding agents. Paste a public GitHub repo, describe the project, run the local CLI, or call the remote MCP tool recommend_skills. It reads your stack from manifests such as package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod and Dockerfile, drops skills built for other stacks, and ranks the rest by fit with your stack and the tasks you name. The database lists 3,112 skills from 86 public repos, each with its source link and license. The free scan shows the match count and 2 picks with install commands. $9 once unlocks the ranked list of up to 30 picks with reasons and overlap notes. The CLI and MCP tool send tag names, not code. Placement and rank are not for sale. Made by Fieldnote Labs, Missouri, USA.
