### Description (declared)

---
title: agentskills-mcp-extension
description: Native MCP Skills publication and origin-preserving client helpers.
---

Publish and consume the official MCP Skills extension with immutable, lossless resources.

## Native Skills Only

The native Skills API requires MCP SDK `>=2.2,<3`. It serves the official
`io.modelcontextprotocol/skills` extension on protocol `2026-07-28` through
`skills/list`, `skills/get`, and canonical `skill://` resources. Clients on older
protocol revisions see the same `skill://` files as ordinary resources and cannot
call the Skills methods. See the
[breaking-change guide](https://github.com/pratikxpanda/agentskills-sdk/blob/main/docs/mcp-migration.md).

## Install

```bash
pip install "agentskills-mcp-extension[fs]"
```

The `[http]` extra adds the HTTP provider. Publisher verification needs
`agentskills-core[verification]` and OpenTelemetry export needs
`agentskills-core[telemetry]`. Use an isolated server environment
when a host framework pins a different MCP SDK version.

## Serve a Folder

Prepare `skills/incident-response/SKILL.md` with valid `name` and `description` frontmatter.
The [filesystem guide](https://github.com/pratikxpanda/agentskills-sdk/blob/main/packages/providers/agentskills-fs/README.md#usage)
includes a complete sample skill. The Python example publishes that folder over stdio:

```python
import asyncio
from pathlib import Path

from agentskills_core import Skill
from agentskills_fs import LocalFileSystemSkillProvider
from agentskills_mcp_extension import create_mcp_server

provider = LocalFileSystemSkillProvider(Path("./skills"))
server = asyncio.run(create_mcp_server([Skill("incident-response", provider)]))
server.run(transport="stdio")
```

`create_mcp_server` is async and accepts a `SkillRegistry` or a sequence of raw
`Skill` handles. Raw handles avoid imposing registry-specific parsing restrictions
before publication. Discovery is metadata-only, including for a single skill.

The factory captures complete immu…
