# Aave MCP Skills

A skill is a short procedure for one Aave flow, written for the model rather than for a person: which tools to call, in what order, and what a finished answer has to contain.

Aave publishes one skill per flow where the tool list alone tends to leave an agent a step short. Each is a single `SKILL.md` in the [aave/skills](https://github.com/aave/skills) repository.

## How a Client Gets Them

**As a plugin.** The skills are bundled with the Aave MCP plugin, which also connects the client to `https://mcp.aave.com`. It is published to each provider’s own marketplace, currently Claude Code and Cursor.

```text title="Claude Code"
/plugin marketplace add aave/skills
/plugin install aave-mcp@aave
```

**With the skills CLI.** Other agents can install the skills with one command. This adds the skills only, so also add the server at `https://mcp.aave.com`.

```bash
npx skills add aave/skills
```

**From the repository.** An agent that loads skills from a directory can take the `SKILL.md` files from [aave/skills](https://github.com/aave/skills) as they are.

## Using a Skill

Nothing has to be invoked by name.

1. **Install the plugin,** which connects the client to `https://mcp.aave.com` and loads the skills. [Getting Started](/mcp/getting-started) covers connecting a client on its own.
2. **Ask in plain language.** “Get my health factor up on Aave”, “did my supply go through”. A client with skill support loads the matching procedure.
3. **Review and sign.** Skills change which reads happen and what an answer covers. They grant nothing: every state change is still an unsigned transaction your own wallet approves, as described in [Safety](/mcp/safety).

## Contributing

The skills are maintained in [aave/skills](https://github.com/aave/skills). Proposals and corrections are welcome there.
