Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Restart after saving.

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.

        "path": "git",

          "~/.claude/skills/Ay-Skills"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add ay-skill -- git clone https://github.com/walidboulanouar/Ay-Skills ~/.claude/skills/Ay-Skills

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

Use Cases

Real-world ways to use Ay-Skills

Build a shareable self-contained HTML artifact with React + shadcn

👤 Devs who want to demo a small UI without a deploy ⏱ ~30 min beginner

When to use: You'd like to hand someone a single .html file that works offline.

Prerequisites
  • Skills cloned — git clone https://github.com/walidboulanouar/Ay-Skills ~/.claude/skills/Ay-Skills
Flow
  1. Describe the artifact
    artifacts-builder: a single-page pricing calculator with 3 tiers, React + shadcn cards, Tailwind.✓ Copied
    → Claude produces the bundled HTML file with embedded CSS/JS
  2. Iterate on visuals
    Use ui-ux-pro-max guidelines — apply the accent palette to the CTA.✓ Copied
    → Visually more polished version consistent with the design system

Outcome: One file, double-click to open, works anywhere.

Automate a task behind a login with agent-browser

👤 Engineers avoiding flaky Selenium scripts ⏱ ~30 min intermediate

When to use: You need Claude to interact with a web app that requires auth, and you want session persistence.

Flow
  1. Start a persistent session
    agent-browser: open mysaas.com, log in (I'll do 2FA), save session.✓ Copied
    → Session saved, subsequent requests reuse it
  2. Automate the task
    Now download last month's invoices from the billing page.✓ Copied
    → Files downloaded to CWD

Outcome: A scripted flow that survives across sessions without reauth hell.

Pitfalls
  • Site's terms forbid automation — Check ToS first — browser automation is a tool, not a license
Combine with: filesystem

Combinations

Pair with other MCPs for X10 leverage

ay-skill + filesystem

Save artifacts-builder output directly to a shared drop folder

Build the artifact and save to ~/Dropbox/demos/.✓ Copied
ay-skill + github

Ship the artifact as a GitHub Pages page in one step

Build the artifact, commit to gh-pages branch, push.✓ Copied

Tools

What this MCP exposes

ToolInputsWhen to callCost
artifacts-builder UI description Want a shareable single-file demo 0
mcp-client target MCP server + task Orchestrating multiple MCPs from one skill 0
remotion scene description + assets Programmatic video generation 0
agent-browser URL + actions Auth-gated or JS-heavy sites 0
claude-seo URL or keyword SEO audits with optional paid data 0 local, paid if DataForSEO enabled
superpowers feature intent Complex features that benefit from structured TDD 0

Cost & Limits

What this costs to run

API quota
None for the skills themselves
Tokens per call
Varies widely across sub-skills
Monetary
Free — skills are local files. DataForSEO (used by claude-seo optionally) is paid.
Tip
Don't enable all 10 sub-skills if you only use 3 — context overhead compounds.

Security

Permissions, secrets, blast radius

Credential storage: No credentials in the skill files. agent-browser stores a session file; claude-seo may need DataForSEO keys.
Data egress: Depends on sub-skill — agent-browser and claude-seo hit external sites

Troubleshooting

Common errors and fixes

Skill not invoked — Claude writes React inline instead of using artifacts-builder

Reference the sub-skill by name: 'use artifacts-builder to...'.

Verify: ls ~/.claude/skills/Ay-Skills/
SKILL.md frontmatter wrong

Each sub-skill has its own SKILL.md; inspect the one not activating.

Verify: head ~/.claude/skills/Ay-Skills/artifacts-builder/SKILL.md
Wrong trigger keywords — mcp-client picks the wrong MCP

Specify the target MCP explicitly in the prompt.

Alternatives
