// 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.

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.jsPackage: @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)

- 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.
