AI agent skills and MCP serversA short list, read before it was listed
Skills and MCP servers make AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor far more useful. They also run with your files, your terminal and your accounts, and the big directories list thousands with nobody checking them.
This list is short on purpose. We read every entry, pin the exact version we checked, and say plainly what it can read and change. Each one comes with the setup for the tool you use.
