DecimalAI Skills Registry
Search agent skills ranked by measured lift vs a no-skill baseline, with safety and rankings.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
decimalai-mcpclaude mcp add decimalai-skills-registry -e 'DECIMAL_API_KEY=<your decimal_api_key>' -- uvx decimalai-mcp==0.1.3
{
"mcpServers": {
"decimalai-skills-registry": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"decimalai-mcp==0.1.3"
],
"env": {
"DECIMAL_API_KEY": "<your decimal_api_key>"
}
}
}
}
Environment variables
DECIMAL_API_KEYsecret Optional DecimalAI API key (dai_sk_...). All tools work anonymously; the key adds per-org enrichment such as installed_as.

Part of DecimalAI. Most users want the Python SDK → decimal-labs/decimalai-python.
MCP server for the DecimalAI skills registry — the registry that ranks agent skills by measured effectiveness (verified A/B benchmarks, live pass rates, AI rater scores), not download counts.
Gives any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …) three read-only tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_skills(query, category?, sort?, limit?) | Hybrid keyword/semantic search over the public registry |
get_skill(slug) | Full record: trust & safety-scan status, verified benchmark lift, SkillScore, ratings, SKILL.md body, and how to install it (decimalai skills add <slug>, the folder it lands in, and the Claude Code --plugin-dir line) |
get_leaderboard(sort?, category?, window_days?, limit?) | Ranked leaderboard: skill_score, biggest_improvement, efficiency, top_rated |
No API key required — all three tools read public registry endpoints. If you set DECIMAL_API_KEY (from app.decimal.ai/settings), the same tools additionally show which skills your org has already installed (installed_as).
Install
pip install decimalai-mcp
# or, no install needed at config time:
uvx decimalai-mcp
Requires Python 3.10+.
Claude Code
claude mcp add decimalai -- uvx decimalai-mcp
# with an API key:
claude mcp add decimalai -e DECIMAL_API_KEY=dai_sk_... -- uvx decimalai-mcp
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"decimalai": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["decimalai-mcp"],
"env": {
"DECIMAL_API_KEY": "dai_sk_optional"
}
}
}
}
Omit the env block entirely for anonymous read-only access.
Configuration
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
DECIMAL_API_KEY | (unset) | Optional. Unlocks per-org enrichment (e.g. installed_as) on the same public endpoints. |
DECIMAL_API_URL | https://api.decimal.ai | Point at a self-hosted / local backend. |
Why no check_manifest_impact tool?
The manifest-impact endpoint (POST /api/v1/regression-check) is authenticated on the platform — it analyzes your org's production traces against a candidate manifest, so there is no public variant to expose. This server is deliberately a read-only, key-optional public-registry surface. If demand shows up, an authed check_manifest_impact (requiring DECIMAL_API_KEY) is a natural v0.2 addition; the regression-check GitHub Action covers the CI use-case today.
Endpoints used (all public)
GET /api/v1/registry/skills— browse/searchGET /api/v1/registry/skills/{slug}— detailGET /api/v1/registry/leaderboard— ranked leaderboard (categoryfiltering falls back to the browse endpoint's documentedview=ranksmode, because the leaderboard endpoint is uncategorized)
Development
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest # all HTTP mocked; no network
python -m decimalai_mcp.server # run over stdio
Run pytest yourself before opening a PR. CI also asserts that the pinned mcp<2 still provides FastMCP, which the mocked tests do not cover — run that one too:
python -c "from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP; import decimalai_mcp.server"

How do I install DecimalAI Skills Registry?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add decimalai-skills-registry -e 'DECIMAL_API_KEY=<your decimal_api_key>' -- uvx decimalai-mcp==0.1.3. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does DecimalAI Skills Registry need an API key?
Yes. It expects DECIMAL_API_KEY, which you set in its configuration.
Is DecimalAI Skills Registry open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains DecimalAI Skills Registry?
It is published by decimal-labs. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
