MCP
What is a remote MCP skill registry?
A remote MCP skill registry is an MCP server that exposes skill search and retrieval tools to local AI agents. The first useful version should be read-only: search skills, inspect details, recommend related skills, get a download link, and record usage.
Read-only first
A registry endpoint should not automatically rewrite a user machine or install files during the first version. Read-only behavior is easier to trust because users can inspect a skill package before adding it locally.
The planned ShowUskills boundary is search_skills, get_skill_detail, recommend_skills, get_download_url, get_install_guide, and record_usage.
What the MCP endpoint needs
The endpoint needs a structured catalog, stable skill IDs, safe download URLs, usage events, and eventually semantic retrieval. In the platform plan, Workers serve the endpoint, D1 stores catalog and event data, R2 stores packages, and Vectorize supports semantic search.
