mcp-discovery from opensesh/design-ops is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add opensesh/design-ops/mcp-discovery@git:20260419.8b28338Pins git:20260419.8b28338 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# MCP Discovery Skill
Dynamic MCP package discovery at runtime. Instead of relying on a static registry, this skill verifies MCP availability by querying npm, GitHub, and vendor documentation.
## Purpose
When a user selects a tool during `/design-ops:setup`, this skill discovers the best connection method:
1. Check for official/vendor MCPs
2. Evaluate community packages (with quality metrics)
3. Find API documentation for direct integration
4. Return a recommendation with confidence level
## Why Dynamic Discovery?
- 100+ potential tools across operations/design/analytics
- Static registries become stale immediately
- New MCPs are published constantly
- Tool-agnostic design requires runtime discovery
---
## Trigger
Invoked by `tool-evaluator` skill during setup flow:
```yaml
skill: mcp-discovery
input:
tool: "monday"
pillar: "operations"
```
---
## Discovery Flow
```
User selects tool (e.g., "Monday.com")

How to install
mdr add opensesh/design-ops/mcp-discovery@sha256:a7cd7b9565dc2683The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260419.8b28338, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
