Connect Cursor to Skillset
Add a remote Skillset entry to your personal MCP configuration, then authorize the connection.
One connection. Three steps.
- Open your personal ~/.cursor/mcp.json file. Merge the Skillset entry below with any existing servers.
- Save the configuration and open Cursor’s MCP controls. Follow the Skillset authentication prompt.
- In Agent chat, ask to list your Skillset library. Choose a skill and ask Agent to use it.

Check that your skill is being used
Ask: “List my Skillset skills. Load the skill I choose, then tell me its name and version before starting.” Look for a successful use_skill tool result in your AI app. Loading instructions does not mean the AI has completed the task.
Will this create a local skill file?
No. Skillset shares the selected instructions through MCP. Your AI app may display them as a tool result rather than in its native Skills folder.
Do I reconnect after buying another skill?
No. Ask your AI to refresh the list. Skillset checks your account’s current access each time it loads a skill.
Can this publish to Shopify or run ads?
A skill supplies the workflow. Your AI also needs separately connected tools and account permissions. Review the product page, campaign, and budget before approving a launch.
