android-skills-mcp is an MCP server that exposes Google's android/skills library to any MCP capable client. The server speaks stdio, ships a bundled snapshot of the skills, and boots in under 200 ms.

You add the server once per machine. After that, any project you open in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, or any other MCP client can search and pull the right skill on demand.

How to install

Claude Code

claude mcp add android-skills -- npx -y android-skills-mcp

Cursor

Add an entry to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-skills": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "android-skills-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients

Anywhere you can register an MCP server with a stdio command, run:

npx -y android-skills-mcp

Tools

The server registers three tools. Each one returns JSON encoded text content so the model can parse it directly.

| Tool | Arguments | Returns | |---|---|---| | list_skills | category?, limit? | All available skills, optionally filtered by category. | | search_skills | query, k? | BM25 ranked matches across name, keywords, description, and headings. | | get_skill | name, include_references? | The full SKILL.md. With include_references=true, every linked reference file is appended at the end. |

The server also lists every skill as a resource at skill://<name> for clients (like Claude Code) that surface them in an @ picker.

Flags

--skills-dir <path>   Re-parse skills from a directory of SKILL.md files
                      instead of the bundled snapshot.
--bundle <path>       Use a specific skills.json snapshot.
--version, -v
--help, -h

The default behavior uses a snapshot of android/skills bundled at publish time. Pass --skills-dir to point at a fresher checkout or an internal fork.
