SkillsRadar MCP: discover Skills inside your agent

Add SkillsRadar under Cursor Settings → MCP

1. 1

   Install the server

   From a terminal with Python 3.12+:

   TerminalCopy

   pip install skillsradar-mcp
   # or, from a local checkout:
   # pip install -e ./apps/mcp

   You should see: The skillsradar-mcp command is on your PATH (or under your venv’s bin/).

2. 2

   Create an API key

   Sign in on SkillsRadar, open Account → API keys, create a key, and copy it once. Store it in env — never paste it into chat.

3. 3

   Add the MCP server in Cursor

   Open Cursor Settings → MCP, add a server named skillsradar, and point command at the absolute path of skillsradar-mcp:

   Cursor MCP JSONCopy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "skillsradar": {
         "command": "/absolute/path/to/bin/skillsradar-mcp",
         "args": [],
         "env": {
           "SKILLSRADAR_API_URL": "https://api.skillsradar.dev",
           "SKILLSRADAR_API_KEY": "sr_live_…",
           "SKILLSRADAR_MCP_CLIENT_NAME": "cursor"
         }
       }
     }
   }

   You should see: Cursor shows skillsradar as connected, with tools like skillsradar_search available.

4. 4

   Local development instead of production

   If you run the SkillsRadar API on your machine, set SKILLSRADAR_API_URL to http://localhost:5173 and use a local demo or account key.
