Skillbase Cursor plugin
Connect Cursor to Skillbase over MCP:
- Sign in with the browser — Cursor opens Skillbase; you allow access (OAuth). No token paste.
- Remote skills —
get_skillloads markdown into the chat (no download) - Selective sync —
prepare_installpackages a CursorSKILL.md; the agent writes it to.cursor/skills/(or~/.cursor/skills/) - Bundled skills —
skillbase+skillbase-syncteach the agent when to use each path
The MCP server is hosted by the Skillbase web app (/api/mcp), not this repo.
Setup
- Install this plugin (Marketplace or local symlink below).
- Optional: set
SKILLBASE_MCP_URLfor a local Skillbase (http://localhost:3100/api/mcp). Default is production. - Enable the Skillbase MCP server — Cursor should prompt you to sign in in the browser.
Local test
ln -s "$(pwd)" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/skillbase
Reload Cursor. Point SKILLBASE_MCP_URL at your local app if needed.
