# @mcpskillsio/server
Use the MCPSkills pre-install trust layer from inside Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.
13 standard signals (15 in Skills Mode) across 4 dimensions with safety scanning for prompt injection, credential theft, and supply chain attacks. Check install risk before an MCP server or AI skill reaches your agent.

## Install
### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add mcpskills -- npx @mcpskillsio/server
```
### Cursor
Add to your `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcpskills": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@mcpskillsio/server"]
}
}
}
```
### Claude Desktop
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcpskills": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@mcpskillsio/server"]
}
}
}
```
## Tools
### `check_trust_score`
Score any GitHub repo, npm package, or registry URL. Returns trust tier, composite score, and 4 dimension scores.
```
"Score anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript"
```
### `scan_safety`
Focused safety scan for AI skills. Checks for prompt injection, shell execution, network exfiltration, credential theft, and obfuscated payloads.
```
"Is this MCP server safe? modelcontextprotocol/servers"
```
### `list_packages`
Browse curated, pre-scored skill packages organized by use case.
```
"Show me safe AI skill packages for full-stack development"
```
### `get_badge`
Generate an SVG trust badge URL for your README.
```
"Get a trust badge for my repo anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript"
```
### `watch_repo`
Start monitoring a repo for trust score changes (requires API key).
```
"Watch modelcontextprotocol/servers for score changes"
```
### `check_watched`
Re-scan all watched repos for score or tier changes (requires API key).
```
"Check my watched repos"
```
### `batch_check`
Score up to 5 repos in a single call (Developer Pro or Team).
```
"Batch check these repos: anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript, langchain-ai/langchainjs"
```
### `auto_gate`
Get a boolean go/no-go decision with reasoning.
```
"Should I install this MCP server? 21st-dev/magic-mcp"
```
### `build_stack`
Recommend a vetted, pre-scored stack from MCP Skills' curated packages.
```
"Build me a stack: auth + payments + email"
```
## Full Reports
Free tier returns trust tier + dimension scores (same as mcpskills.io free scans, 10/day).
For full reports (13 standard / 15 Skills Mode signals + safety findings) inside your IDE, set your API key:
```bash
export MCPSKILLS_API_KEY=your_key_here
```
Get your API key at [mcpskills.io/api](https://mcpskills.io/api). Developer Pro is $19/mo or $149/yr. Team is $99/mo for org/security workflows.
## How It Works
The server calls the mcpskills.io trust scoring API, which:
1. Fetches repo data from GitHub API and OpenSSF Scorecard
2. Scores 13 standard signals across 4 dimensions (Alive, Legit, Solid, Usable)
3. Detects AI skills/MCP servers and activates Skills Mode (+2 bonus signals — 15 total)
4. Runs 5 safety scans based on ClawHavoc and ToxicSkills attack patterns
5. Assigns a trust tier: Verified (>=7.0), Established (>=4.5), New, or Blocked
