bytesagain/mcp-server MCP server

Search 60,000+ AI agent skills directly from any MCP-compatible agent.

Overview

BytesAgain is a free MCP server for discovering AI agent skills and workflow use cases across ClawHub, LobeHub, Dify, GitHub-indexed skills, and the BytesAgain curated catalog.

This repository contains a real stdio MCP server wrapper. It exposes compact tools to agents and forwards read-only requests to the public BytesAgain API at https://bytesagain.com/api/mcp.
