Export PaPut Skills for Claude Desktop

Use paput-mcp export-skill to export PaPut skills as ZIP files. This is useful when you want to upload PaPut skills from Customize > Skills in Claude Desktop, or when you want to register skills manually instead of linking them into a local Claude or Codex environment with setup-ai.

What you can do

• Export PaPut skills as ZIP files that Claude Desktop can register
• Export all PaPut skills at once
• Export only one specific skill
• Choose the output directory or ZIP file path

Basic usage

Export all PaPut skills to ~/Downloads.

npx -y paput-mcp export-skill

Export a single skill by name.

npx -y paput-mcp export-skill paput-dashboard-analysis

Choose another output directory with --output or -o.

npx -y paput-mcp export-skill --output ~/Downloads/paput-skills

When exporting a single skill, --output can also be a ZIP file path.

npx -y paput-mcp export-skill paput-save --output ~/Downloads/paput-save.zip

Register in Claude Desktop

1. Export the ZIP file with export-skill
2. Open Claude Desktop
3. Upload the ZIP from Customize > Skills
4. Confirm that PaPut MCP is also connected in Claude Desktop

Skills provide workflow instructions. To fetch or save PaPut data, Claude Desktop still needs access to the PaPut MCP tools.

Difference from setup-ai

setup-ai creates canonical skills under ~/.paput/skills, links them into local Claude or Codex skill directories, and can add global usage rules. It is useful even when PaPut MCP itself is connected through Remote HTTP Mode.

export-skill creates ZIP files that can be manually registered in tools such as Claude Desktop. Use it when you want to install skills through the Claude Desktop Skills UI.

Notes

• When exporting all skills, --output must be a directory
• Unknown skill names cause an error
• Registering a skill ZIP does not configure the PaPut MCP connection by itself
• Skills that guide local session review depend on the AI client's local file access
