Add Agent Skills installation guide
Add `docs/agent-skills.md` with installation instructions for multiple AI
coding agents including Claude Code, VS Code/Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline,
and Goose. The guide provides three installation methods: Claude Code
plugin, Vercel Skills CLI (`npx skills add`), and manual installation.

Update `README.md` to link to the new guide and reframe the plugin
section around the broader "Agent Skills" concept.

Agent Skills

Install the Skills

The MCP Apps repository provides two Agent Skills for AI coding agents: one for scaffolding MCP Apps with interactive UIs, and one for migrating from the OpenAI Apps SDK.

Choose one of the following installation methods based on your agent:

Option 1: Claude Code Plugin

Install via Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps
/plugin install mcp-apps@modelcontextprotocol-ext-apps

Option 2: Vercel Skills CLI

Use the Vercel Skills CLI to install skills across different AI coding agents:

npx skills add modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps

Option 3: Manual Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps.git

Then copy the skills from plugins/mcp-apps/skills/ to your agent's skills directory. See your agent's documentation for the correct location:

Verify Installation

Ask your agent "What skills do you have?" — you should see create-mcp-app and migrate-oai-app among the available skills.

Next Steps

Try invoking the skills by asking your agent:

  • "Create an MCP App" — scaffolds a new MCP App with an interactive UI
  • "Migrate from OpenAI Apps SDK" — converts an existing OpenAI App to use the MCP Apps SDK
