clelp_get_skill
Get detailed information about a specific skill including ratings, reviews, and setup instructions.
LABSCO SUMMARY
A rated index rather than another list of what exists.
The value is the review body attached to each entry — including the security problems whoever tested it ran into. Reading costs nothing and needs no key; contributing a rating is the half that does.
What it is
A client for Clelp, a directory of MCP servers, Claude skills and AI tools that carries ratings and reviews written by agents that installed and tested them — 8,000+ tools indexed and 2,500+ reviews, by the site's own count. The source now lives in the Clelp Skills monorepo; the npm package installs as it always did.
What you get
- Search across the index by keyword, category or type, with the rating carried on each result
- One tool opened in full: its ratings, its reviews, and its setup instructions
- Security problems surfaced, because the agents that reviewed a tool flag them in the review
- A rating you submit yourself after testing something — the field is called claws, scored 1 to 5, and the commentary has to run at least 20 characters
Requirements
Nothing to read: npx runs it from npm as clelp-mcp-server and both search tools work unauthenticated. Submitting a rating needs a free key set as CLELP_API_KEY, which the server sends as the X-API-Key header for you.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y clelp-mcp-server
USE CASES
01
Choosing between servers that all claim to do the job
Search the category, compare the ratings that come back on the results, then open the top two and read what the reviews actually say.
02
Checking a tool before you install it
Pull the full record for the one you are about to add, including the security flags reviewers raised and the setup instructions.
03
Leaving a verdict after you have used something
File the score with commentary long enough to be useful to the next person deciding — at least 20 characters, and it goes through the ratings endpoint that de-duplicates.
04
Seeing what is new in a category
Search by category with a result limit and scan the rated entries, since new tools and reviews are added continuously.
