PM Claude Skills MCP server

CommunityLocal
Getnpmpm-claude-skillsmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Lets your AI assistant search and load product, business and design skills and workflow recipes on demand.

This is a local server for the pm-claude-skills library. It lets your assistant search the library, read a skill, and follow a workflow recipe when a request matches. Nothing is installed except the server itself.

It only reads text bundled in the package and needs no account or key. The skills are written by one maintainer, so read a skill before you rely on it.

Good for

  • Product managers who want ready-made PRD and prioritization frameworks
  • Claude Code or Cursor users who prefer on-demand skills to a thousand installed files
  • Anyone building a repeatable workflow from named skills

Install pm-claude-skills MCP

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the pm-claude-skills MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    claude mcp add pm-skills -- npx -y -p pm-claude-skills pm-claude-skills-mcp
    
    Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js, Node.js 18 or higher.

The package ships a second command, so the server needs -p pm-claude-skills@latest pm-claude-skills-mcp. A plain npx -y pm-claude-skills starts the skill installer instead. @latest makes every start use the newest release.

Tools

  • Finds skills by keyword

    Searches skill names, descriptions and full text and returns the best matches, ranked.

    Try: “Search the skills for customer churn.”

    Read · search_skills

  • Lists the available skills

    Lists skills with name, title, maturity tier and a one-line description. You can filter by tier.

    Try: “List the production-tier skills.”

    Read · list_skills

  • Gets a skill's full instructions

    Returns the whole instruction file for one skill so the assistant can follow it. A retired name still works and points to its replacement.

    Try: “Get the rice-prioritisation skill and apply it to my backlog.”

    Read · get_skill

  • Shows what a skill needs from you

    Returns the inputs a skill expects as named fields, so the assistant can ask for each one instead of taking a blob of text.

    Try: “What inputs does the prd-template skill need?”

    Read · get_skill_inputs

  • Runs a skill on your text

    Runs a skill on your input using your own client's model through MCP sampling, so the server needs no API key. If your client does not support sampling, it says so and points to get_skill.

    Try: “Run the launch-checklist skill on these notes.”

    Read · run_skill

  • Picks between similar skills

    For one skill name, lists look-alike skills with the rule for choosing, says whether the name is retired, and shows skills that share its first word.

    Try: “Which is better, threat-model or its look-alikes?”

    Read · disambiguate_skill

  • Lists workflow recipes

    Lists named chains of skills, such as ship-a-feature, with the stages each covers.

    Try: “What workflow recipes are there?”

    Read · list_workflows

  • Gets one workflow recipe

    Returns the ordered skills in a recipe and what each step produces and passes on.

    Try: “Show me the ship-a-feature workflow.”

    Read · get_workflow

  • Checks colour contrast

    Computes the WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio and an APCA score for two hex colours, and suggests a nearby colour that passes. It is plain arithmetic.

    Try: “Does #767676 text on white pass AA?”

Permissions

low risk · 2 things to watch

Low risk

It only reads skill text bundled with the package, and the README says no data leaves your machine. The assistant follows the instructions a skill contains, so skim a skill before applying it to work that matters.

What it can do

Watch out for

  • Skills are instructions your assistant follows

    get_skill returns text the assistant is told to apply to your task. The library is community-written, so skim a skill if the task touches sensitive work. github.com

  • run_skill uses your client's own model

    It asks your client to generate the answer, so your input goes to the model you already use and may count against its usage. github.com

Technical details
Turning on read-onlyEvery tool is read-only: they look up skills bundled in the package. The README says the local server makes no network calls.

Questions

Is the PM Claude Skills MCP server official?

No. It is a community project by one maintainer, mohitagw15856, and it is not made by Anthropic or any app it works with.

Do I need an API key?

No. The server runs on your machine and needs no account or key. run_skill uses your own client's model through sampling.

What is the difference between the installer and the MCP server?

The installer copies skill files into your tool's config folder. The MCP server serves skills on demand instead, so nothing is copied.

Which command starts the server?

Use the command from the install box. The package has two commands, and the plain package name runs the installer, so the server needs the -p pm-claude-skills pm-claude-skills-mcp form.

Does it send my data anywhere?

The README says the local server makes no network calls and no data leaves your machine. Your prompts still go to the model you chose.

Can it change my files?

No. Every tool is read-only and only looks things up in the bundled skills. Skill instructions may ask your assistant to do other work, so review what it proposes.

Does run_skill work in every client?

Only in clients that support MCP sampling. In others it says so and suggests get_skill, which the assistant can apply itself.

How many skills are there?

The published package holds well over a thousand skill folders, so use search_skills or list_skills rather than browsing.
