Skills vs MCP servers
what’s the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skill packages know-how — instructions, an example prompt, and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP server gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transport. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
