Hey! Thanks :)

From my perspective Skills and MCP complement each other: skills orchestrate tasks, while MCP implements them. This synergy has been explored in some articles and the recent MCP code mode trend. MCP serves as a standard for capability execution, and skills aid in progressive disclosure and token saving. I've also seen a trend of exposing skills as MCP resources using the 'skill://' prefix.

Different working groups are leveraging MCP's standardness to save tokens, such as using an MCP server with just 'search' and 'execute' tools.

On the CVM side, we're developing CVMI, a CLI tool for installing CVM related skills and serving or using servers as regular MCPs. Soon, CVMI will also enable calling CVM servers, allowing you to create scripts using just bash and CVMI
