MCP Integration
Recommended path: file-based install
Section titled “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 68 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)
Section titled “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
Section titled “Skill parity at maintenance time”This pm-skills library | pm-skills-mcp v2.9.x maintenance line (frozen catalog) | |
|---|---|---|
| Total skills | 68 | 40 (frozen at v2.9.2 build) |
| Workflows | 12 | 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
Section titled “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.
