How to Give Claude Access to 1,000+ Skills with BluePages MCP

Claude is powerful on its own, but what if it could check the weather, look up stock prices, validate emails, generate QR codes, or review your code — all without leaving the conversation?

With the BluePages MCP server, you can connect Claude to over 1,000 skills in under 60 seconds.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use external tools. BluePages publishes an MCP server that exposes every skill in our directory as a tool Claude can call.

Setup: Claude Code (30 seconds)

If you use Claude Code in the terminal, run one command:

claude mcp add bluepages -- npx @bluepages/mcp-server

That's it. Claude now has access to all BluePages skills. Try asking:

  • "What's the weather in Tokyo?"
  • "Generate a UUID"
  • "Hash this text with SHA-256: hello world"
  • "What's the Bitcoin price in USD?"

Setup: Claude Desktop (60 seconds)

  1. Open your Claude Desktop config file:

    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  2. Add the BluePages server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bluepages": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@bluepages/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see BluePages tools appear in the tools menu.

How It Works

When Claude needs to use a tool:

  1. Claude sees the available BluePages tools and their descriptions
  2. It picks the right tool based on your request
  3. The MCP server calls the BluePages invoke API
  4. The result comes back to Claude, which formats it for you

Free skills work instantly. Paid skills will show pricing info — payment support via x402 is coming to the MCP server soon.
