How it works
The MCP server is a stdio-based server that proxies all tool calls to the desktop app’s local RPC endpoint. It runs as a subprocess of the desktop app.Auto-registration
On first launch, SkillCreator automatically registers its MCP server with detected agent runtimes:| Runtime | Config file |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude.json |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/mcp.json |
| Claude Desktop | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Gemini CLI | ~/.gemini/settings.json |
Auto-registration only adds the server entry if the config file exists. It does not overwrite existing configurations.
~/.claude/settings.json for Claude Code.
