How it works
A guide to skills, MCP configurations, installation, and contributing your own.
Skills
Skills are reusable instruction files written in Markdown with YAML frontmatter. They define metadata like name, category, and tags at the top, followed by the actual instructions in the body. Easy to write, easy to review, easy to share.
- YAML frontmatter for metadata and categorization
- Markdown body for instructions and documentation
- Version tracking for iterative improvement
- Import directly from any GitHub repository

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are external tools that provide additional capabilities. Atlas stores pre-configured server definitions as JSON — the command, arguments, and environment variables you need to get running.
- JSON configuration with command, args, and env vars
- Supports stdio, SSE, and HTTP transport types
- Install instructions included with every listing
- Environment variable documentation for each config

}Installing skills & MCPs
Three steps from discovery to a working configuration.
Find what you need
Use the search bar, category filters, or browse the full library. Every skill and MCP config has tags, ratings, and descriptions to help you find the right one.
Review the details
Each listing shows the full content, install instructions, required environment variables, and community ratings. Know exactly what you are getting before you install.
Copy and install
Use the one-click copy button to grab the skill file or MCP config JSON. Paste it into your setup and you are done.
Contributing your own
Share what you've built with the rest of the team.
Create or import
Write a new skill from scratch using the built-in editor, or import directly from a GitHub repository URL.
Add metadata
Fill in the title, description, category, and tags. For MCP configs, include the JSON and any required environment variables.
Submit for review
Your contribution goes to the admin review queue. Once approved, it appears in the library for the whole team to use.
