Available Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | recommend_skills | Analyzes project and recommends appropriate skills/plugins/MCPs | | search_skills | Search by keywords | | get_skill_details | Get details of a specific item | | list_categories | Get list of categories | | get_stats | Get database statistics |

Data Sources

This MCP server aggregates data from the following sources:

| Source | Content | Update Frequency | |--------|---------|------------------| | anthropics/claude-plugins-official | Official plugin marketplace | Daily | | punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers | Curated list of MCP servers | Daily | | hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code | List of skills/workflows/hooks | Daily |

Auto-Update Feature

How it works:

• The server automatically fetches the latest data from GitHub when it starts
• Falls back to bundled data if the remote fetch fails
• No manual updates or reinstallation required

Offline Mode (optional):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cc-recommender": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cc-recommender"],
      "env": {
        "CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

When CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE is enabled, only bundled data is used (no remote fetching).

Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default | |----------|-------------|---------| | CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE | Disable auto-updates and use only bundled data | false | | GITHUB_TOKEN | GitHub personal access token (increases API rate limit from 60 to 5000 req/hour) | Not set | | SKIP_SECURITY_SCAN | Skip security scanning during data fetch (for developers) | false |

Notes:

• To fetch skills from GitHub repositories, a GitHub token is recommended to avoid rate limits. Create a token at https://github.com/settings/tokens with public_repo scope.
