What is the io.github.PramodDutta/qaskills MCP server?

The QASkills.sh MCP server is a curated directory of 400+ QA testing skills designed for AI coding agents. It provides tools to search, inspect, and install expert-reviewed testing patterns covering E2E, API, unit, performance, security, and accessibility testing across 13+ frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, Jest, and Pytest.

QASkills.sh fills a gap in AI agent capabilities by offering a dedicated, curated collection of QA testing skills. Instead of generic coding knowledge, your AI agent gains expert-level testing expertise with a single command. Install skills for Playwright, Cypress, k6, OWASP security testing, and more—your agent automatically writes tests following best practices and design patterns.

Why QASkills.sh?

Among 49,000+ skills on Vercel's skills.sh, barely any are dedicated to QA testing. QASkills.sh fills that gap — a curated, QA-specific skills directory that gives your AI coding agent expert-level testing knowledge with a single command.

npx @qaskills/cli add playwright-e2e

  ✓ Detected agent: Claude Code
  ✓ Installing playwright-e2e v1.0.0...
  ✓ Skill installed successfully!

Your AI agent now writes Playwright tests using Page Object Model, fixtures, and best practices — automatically.

Quick Start

1. Install a skill (no global install needed)

npx @qaskills/cli add playwright-e2e

2. Or install globally for faster access

npm i -g @qaskills/cli
qaskills add playwright-e2e

3. Search for skills

npx @qaskills/cli search "api testing"

4. List installed skills

npx @qaskills/cli list

5. Remove a skill

npx @qaskills/cli remove playwright-e2e

6. Or use the MCP server (search and install from inside your agent)

Listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.PramodDutta/qaskills.

# Claude Code
claude mcp add qaskills -- npx -y @qaskills/mcp

// Any MCP client (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qaskills": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@qaskills/mcp"] }
  }
}

Your agent gets six tools: search_skills, get_skill, get_skill_content, install_skill, list_categories, get_leaderboard. See packages/mcp.

How It Works

1. SEARCH   →  Browse skills on qaskills.sh or search via CLI
2. INSTALL  →  npx @qaskills/cli add <skill-name>
3. TEST     →  Your AI agent now has QA expertise built-in

The CLI auto-detects which AI agent you're using (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) and installs the skill's SKILL.md to the correct configuration directory. Your agent reads this file and follows the testing patterns automatically.
