Overview

The AgentPowers remote MCP server lets you browse, search, and explore the marketplace directly from claude.ai. No CLI installation required — just add the server URL to your claude.ai settings and start discovering skills in conversation.
The remote server handles discovery and commerce only. To install skills to your local machine, use the CLI or the Claude Desktop extension.

Setup

Add to claude.ai

  1. Open claude.ai and go to Settings
  2. Navigate to Integrations (or MCP Servers)
  3. Click Add Custom Integration
  4. Enter the server URL:
https://api.agentpowers.ai/mcp/sse
  1. Save and start a new conversation

Verify it works

In a new conversation, try:
“Search AgentPowers for productivity skills”
Claude should use the search_marketplace tool and return results from the marketplace.
