This consumes significant tokens even when most information isn't needed.\n\n**Traditional MCP Approach:**\n- Creates 1 tool per skill/capability\n- All tool descriptions sent with every request\n- 20 skills = 20 tools × ~100 tokens = **~2000 tokens/request**\n- Information sent whether needed or not\n\n**Progressive Skills MCP:**\n- Creates 3 universal tools that load skills on-demand\n- Only skill names/descriptions sent initially\n- Full instructions loaded only when needed\n- 20 skills = 3 tools × ~50 tokens + skill list = **~150 tokens/request**\n- **13x more efficient!** 🎉\n\n**The Three Levels:**\n1. **System Prompt**: Brief skill list (~200 tokens, sent once)\n2. **On-Demand Loading**: Full skill instructions (0 tokens until requested)\n3. **Referenced Resources**: Additional files (0 tokens until accessed)\n\nThis approach is especially valuable when working with many skills or limited context windows.\n\n## Features\n\n✅ Progressive disclosure (3-level token efficiency)  \n✅ Compatible with all SKILL.md format files  \n✅ Supports .zip and .skill archives  \n✅ Flexible skills source (local directories, VPS volumes)  \n✅ Simple `uvx` installation - works with any MCP client  \n\n## Installation\n\n**Important:** Before installing, you must create a skills directory and optionally add some skills to it. The server will not start without a valid skills directory.\n\n### Setup Steps\n\n**Step 1: Create Your Skills Directory**\n\nChoose where to store your skills:\n\n**Local (Linux/Mac):**\n```bash\nmkdir -p ~/.skills\n# Or any…","publisher":{"name":"Flowtrica","url":null},"homepage":"https://github.com/Flowtrica/skills-mcp","repository":"https://github.com/Flowtrica/skills-mcp","version":"0.6.3","license":"MIT License  Copyright (c) 2025 Flowtrica <flowtrica@flowtrica.…","protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["mcp","skills","fastmcp","claude"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:progressive-skills-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","license":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi","publisherName":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"dev.filesystem","name":"Filesystem","confidence":0.802,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["dev"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"progressive-skills-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-11-03T22:25:39.057Z","publishedAt":"2026-04-05T10:58:06.492736Z","latestVersion":"0.6.3"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"progressive-skills-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/progressive-skills-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T10:23:58.096Z","fetchedAt":"2026-11-03T22:24:24.772Z","normalizedAt":"2026-11-03T22:24:24.772Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T10:23:58.096Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-03T22:25:39.057Z"}
