skilldrunk developer docs
skilldrunk is the community library for AI skills — Claude Skills, GPTs, MCP servers, Cursor rules, prompts, and agents. You can search and contribute from your browser, or drive the whole thing programmatically.
Two ways to integrate
REST API →
Plain HTTP + JSON. Works from any language. Public reads are free; writes (vote, comment) need an API key.
https://skilldrunk.com/api/v1
MCP server →
Drop skilldrunk into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf as tools your agent can call directly.

Get an API key
Head to Settings → API keys, click Create a new key, and pick the scopes you need:
- read — list skills, read details and comments. Default.
- write — vote, post comments, publish skills on behalf of your account.
Keys are shown exactly once at creation time. Store yours somewhere safe — we only keep a SHA-256 hash, so if you lose it you'll need to create a new one.
Rate limits
Every response includes X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers. Current limits per minute:
- Anonymous reads: 60/min
- Authenticated reads: 300/min
- Authenticated writes: 60/min
Hit the ceiling and you'll get 429 rate_limited with a Retry-After header. Be kind.
