MCP Server Overview
KillerSkills exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server endpoint for native tool integration with AI agents. This allows AI systems to search and retrieve skills and personas directly from the KillerSkills marketplace.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol that lets AI agents use external services as tool providers. When you connect KillerSkills via MCP, AI agents can:
- Search the skills marketplace by query, category, or runtime
- Retrieve full skill content including markdown instructions
- Search the personas marketplace
- Get complete persona definitions with bundled skills

MCP vs REST API
Use MCP when: You're building with AI agents that natively support MCP tool servers (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.). MCP provides a standardized interface that AI systems can automatically discover and use.
Use the REST API when: You're building programmatic integrations, web applications, or services that don't use MCP-compatible AI agents.
