What does the search-registry skill do?
Search the MCP Gateway Registry using semantic search. Takes a natural language query, calls the /api/search/semantic endpoint, and returns formatted results directly in the conversation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add agentic-community/mcp-gateway-registry --skill search-registry --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From agentic-community/mcp-gateway-registry, a repository with 845 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
