// AGENT INSTALL

Use SkillPilot from your agent

Add the SkillPilot MCP server and skill so vibe-coding agents query the live catalog as their first gate — one Claude skill, one MCP server, and an optional stack per job query, with honest trust labels.

1. SkillPilot MCP server

Read-only tools: search_job, search_catalog, lookup_tool, today_edition, list_trending. Calls /api/v1/job-search and related public endpoints — never edits your files or runs scanned repos.

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillpilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@skillpilot/mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillpilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@skillpilot/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Monorepo / local API

Point at your dev server when testing changes before deploy:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillpilot": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["packages/skillpilot-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SKILLPILOT_API_BASE": "http://localhost:3000"
      }
    }
  }
}
# From repo root
cd packages/skillpilot-mcp && npm install && npm run build
npm run dev   # in another terminal — serves API on :3000
SKILLPILOT_API_BASE=http://localhost:3000 node packages/skillpilot-mcp/dist/index.js

Package: @skillpilot/mcp · Source: packages/skillpilot-mcp · Override API: SKILLPILOT_API_BASE

2. SkillPilot agent skill

Teaches agents to call SkillPilot first for skills and MCP servers. Copy skills/skillpilot/SKILL.md into your agent skills directory.

# Project skill (Cursor)
mkdir -p .cursor/skills/skillpilot
cp skills/skillpilot/SKILL.md .cursor/skills/skillpilot/

# Global Claude Code skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/skillpilot
cp skills/skillpilot/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/skillpilot/

3. HTTPS fallback (no MCP)

curl "https://www.skillpilot.biz/api/v1/job-search?q=research"

Trust and safety

  • Trust pending is shown but never presented as endorsement.
  • Install commands come from the verified catalog only — agents must not invent commands.
  • SkillPilot does not execute code from scanned repositories.
  • Pulse edition dates and trending ranks come from bundled public data — not fabricated at request time.
