# Awesome AI Agent Tools

> Installable AI agent components for coding assistants: skills, MCP servers, agent workflows, subagents, hooks, plugins, prompts, and CLI tools.

## What This Skill Does

This skill teaches you how to install and use resources from the [Awesome AI Agent Tools](https://github.com/michielhdoteth/awesome-ai-agent-tools) collection. It covers three types of resources:

1. **Skills** - Reusable SKILL.md instruction sets for specific tasks
2. **MCP Servers** - Model Context Protocol servers for tool integration
3. **Agent Loops** - Repeatable patterns with prompts and verification

## When to Use

- When the user wants to install AI agent skills
- When the user wants to set up MCP servers
- When the user wants to browse or use agent workflows
- When the user asks about AI agent tools, skills, or MCPs
- When the user wants to explore the AI development ecosystem

## Installation Methods

### Method 1: Install via skills.sh CLI (Recommended)

The fastest way to install skills from this collection:

```bash
# Install all skills from this repo
npx skills add michielhdoteth/awesome-ai-agent-tools

# Install a specific skill
npx skills add michielhdoteth/awesome-ai-agent-tools --skill test-driven-development

# Search for skills by keyword
npx skills find "debugging"

# List installed skills
npx skills list

# Update all installed skills
npx skills update
```

### Method 2: Install via add-mcp CLI

For MCP servers, use the Neon add-mcp tool:

```bash
# Install a specific MCP server
npx add-mcp <url-or-package>

# Examples:
npx add-mcp https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp
npx add-mcp @upstash/context7-mcp
npx add-mcp @anthropic-ai/mcp-server-playwright

# Search for available servers
npx add-mcp find

# List supported agents
npx add-mcp list-agents

# Install for a specific agent
npx add-mcp -a cursor <url-or-package>

# Install globally
npx add-mcp -g <url-or-package>

# Skip prompts
npx add-mcp -y <url-or-package>
```

### Method 3: Clone and Copy

```bash
# Clone the full collection
git clone https://github.com/michielhdoteth/awesome-ai-agent-tools.git
cd awesome-ai-agent-tools

# Copy skills to your project
cp -r skills/test-driven-development/.claude/skills/ your-project/.claude/skills/
cp -r skills/test-driven-development/.opencode/skills/ your-project/.opencode/skills/
cp -r skills/test-driven-development/.agents/skills/ your-project/.agents/skills/
```
