💡 Summary
The SkillsMP API enables keyword and AI semantic search for discovering AI skills in the SkillsMP marketplace.
🎯 Target Audience
🤖 AI Roast: “Powerful, but the setup might scare off the impatient.”
Risk: Medium. Review: shell/CLI command execution; outbound network access (SSRF, data egress); API keys/tokens handling and storage; filesystem read/write scope and path traversal; dependency pinning and supply-chain risk. Run with least privilege and audit before enabling in production.

SkillsMP API Skill
This skill provides search functionality for the SkillsMP skill marketplace, supporting both keyword search and AI semantic search.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- requests library (
pip install requests) - SkillsMP API Key from skillsmp.com/settings/api
Installation
First-time setup requires installing the requests library:
pip install requests
[!NOTE] This step only needs to be run once. Python's requests library is the only external dependency required.
API Key Configuration
Check if API Key is configured
Before running any search script, check if .env file exists:
# Check if .env exists test -f .env && echo "Configured" || echo "Not configured"
Setup API Key
Option 1: Using setup script (Recommended)
python scripts/setup.py <API_KEY>
Option 2: Create .env file directly
Create a .env file with the following content:
SKILLSMP_API_KEY=sk_live_skillsmp_xxxxxxxxxx
[!TIP] Get your API Key from SkillsMP API Settings

Install Command References
The add-skill tool installs skills from any Git repository.
Install specific skill to global scope (User-level):
npx add-skill <owner>/<repo> --skill "<skill-name>" -g -a antigravity -y
Install ALL skills from a repo:
npx add-skill <owner>/<repo> -g -a antigravity -y
Install to project scope (Local):
npx add-skill <owner>/<repo> --skill "<skill-name>" -a antigravity -y
List available skills in a repo:
npx add-skill <owner>/<repo> --list
Complete Installation Workflow
-
Search for skills Use the helper script to find the repository and skill name:
python scripts/install_helper.py "spring boot" -
Verify repository content List all skills available in the repository:
npx add-skill <owner>/<repo> --list -
Install the skill Choose one of the installation commands above. For most cases, use the Global Install:
npx add-skill <owner>/<repo> --skill "<skill-name>" -g -a antigravity -y -
Verify Installation Check if the skill files are created in the agent's skill directory.
Response Format
Success Response:
{ "success": true, "data": { "skills": [...] } }
Error Response:
{ "success": false, "error": { "code": "ERROR_CODE", "message": "Error message" } }
Agent Workflow
When a user requests SkillsMP search functionality:
-
Check if
.envexists- If exists → Run search script directly
