MCP Integration
MCP server is in maintenance mode
The companion MCP server pm-skills-mcp entered maintenance mode on 2026-05-04. The current release in the v2.9.x maintenance line is v2.9.3 (security-patch follow-up to the v2.9.2 maintenance-mode announcement; cleared all open Dependabot advisories on 2026-05-05). The MCP-embedded catalog is frozen at the v2.9.2 build state (40 MCP-embedded PM entries + 11 workflow tools + 8 utility tools = 59 tools); subsequent v2.9.x patches do not change the embedded catalog, and pm-skills v2.15.0’s new Foundation Sprint and Design Sprint families plus tool-note-and-vote are NOT embedded in MCP. The pm-skills file-based catalog has since grown to 63 skills total. Active MCP development is paused pending demonstrated demand. Security patches and critical bug fixes will continue; new skill parity with this pm-skills library is on hold after the v2.9.2 build.
Recommended path: file-based install
For new users, the file-based install path is the recommended way to use PM-Skills. It is under active maintenance, ships the full current catalog of all 63 skills (including the v2.15.0 Foundation Sprint + Design Sprint families), and works with any agent supported by the open skills CLI or by Claude Code’s slash-command system.
- Getting Started for installation
- Skills catalog for the full list
- Workflows for multi-skill chains
Using the MCP server (legacy path)
If your team has already adopted pm-skills-mcp or has a specific reason to use the MCP transport (e.g., a client that does not support file-based skills), the latest v2.9.x release remains fully functional. Setup, configuration, and troubleshooting are documented in the MCP server’s own README:
Skill parity at maintenance time
This pm-skills library | pm-skills-mcp v2.9.x maintenance line (frozen catalog) | |
|---|---|---|
| Total skills | 40 (and growing) | 40 (frozen at v2.9.2 build) |
| Workflows | 9 | 11 (legacy names retained) |
| Active maintenance | Yes | Maintenance mode |
The v2.9.2 build of pm-skills-mcp embeds the full current 40-skill catalog at the time of its publication (2026-05-05). Skills added to pm-skills after that build are not embedded in the MCP server. Use the file-based install for parity with future pm-skills releases.
Registering interest in resumed MCP development
If your team would benefit from resumed MCP server development, open a discussion. Demand signals (discussion engagement, install volume growth, direct contact) inform when development resumes.
