AbsolutelySkilled

Name: AbsolutelySkilled MCP Server
Author: AbsolutelySkilled

by AbsolutelySkilled · AbsolutelySkilled/AbsolutelySkilled

A curated index of Claude/Agent Skills from around the web — think awesome-list, but browsable as an MDX site.

AbsolutelySkilled is less of a skill and more of a directory: an MDX-based catalogue of community skills, tagged by domain, with short descriptions. Use it to discover new skills to install, not as a skill you install for Claude behavior. Good companion to FreeMCPLab's own catalog.

Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

Click the MCP Servers icon in the Cline sidebar, then "Edit Configuration".

Same shape as Claude Desktop. Restart Windsurf to pick up changes.

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

          "~/.claude/skills/AbsolutelySkilled"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add absolutelyskilled-skill -- git clone https://github.com/AbsolutelySkilled/AbsolutelySkilled ~/.claude/skills/AbsolutelySkilled

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.
