About
mcp-skill-search is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by PettHa. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). We first saw it on 2026-10-11 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-12.
A "ToolSearch for skills" — searches your SKILL.md files by keyword, exact name, or required-term filter so the model can fetch full skill descriptions on demand. Mirrors Claude Code's internal ToolSearch scoring algorithm 1:1, but for skills instead of MCP tools. Pairs with two bundled slash-commands: /optimize-skill-context sets SLASH_COMMAND_TOOL_CHAR_BUDGET=1 to free Claude Code's ~1% skill-description budget (forcing names-only mode), and /restore-skill-descriptions reverses it. Slash-commands keep working; descriptions are fetched on demand via skill_search when relevant. Repo-aware: skills under the current git-root's .claude/skills/ get a +5 score boost over same-named skills from other repos, so search ranking respects which project you're working in.
What it asks for
- Installs as a plugin bundle
None of the marketplaces we read publishes its tools or the settings it asks for.
What it declares, asks for and runs, in full
Only install plugins from developers you trust. We list what marketplaces publish and do not test plugins.
Works with
- Claude Code
From the marketplaces that list it and the MCP transport it declares, as each client documents them. We do not test plugins.
Connect
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-community/blob/HEAD/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
