Convert AI Skills (following Claude Skills format) into MCP server resources, making them accessible through the Model Context Protocol.

> **Part of [BioContextAI](https://biocontext.ai)** - A community-driven initiative connecting agentic AI with biomedical resources through standardized MCP servers. While this package is domain-agnostic and can be used for any skill collection, it was developed to support the biomedical research community.

## Overview

This MCP server exposes Claude Skills as resources that can be accessed by LLM applications through the Model Context Protocol. Skills are self-contained directories containing a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter, along with supporting files like scripts, references, and examples.

### Features

- **Automatic skill discovery**: Recursively finds all `SKILL.md` files in the `skills/` directory
- **Frontmatter parsing**: Extracts skill metadata (name, description) from YAML frontmatter
- **Three core tools**:
  - `get_available_skills`: Lists all available skills with descriptions
  - `get_skill_details`: Returns SKILL.md content and file listing for a specific skill
  - `get_skill_related_file`: Reads any file within a skill directory (with directory traversal protection)
- **Security**: Path validation prevents access outside skill directories
