Agent Skills

Install seenode Agent Skills manually in Cursor, Claude Code, and other coding agents until marketplace plugins are available.

Agent Skills teach coding agents how to deploy and operate apps on seenode using the hosted MCP. They ship in the open-source seenode Agent Plugin as skills/*/SKILL.md folders.

Marketplace listings for Cursor, Claude Code, and other clients are still rolling out. Until those are live, install the skills (or the full plugin) from GitHub.

Note (MCP required)

Skills call the seenode MCP tools. Connect MCP first (see Model Context Protocol (MCP)), then install skills so the agent knows the recommended workflows.

Available skills

SkillWhat it does
deployEnd-to-end deploy: database → inspect repo → create app → link DB → wait
troubleshootFailed deploys and apps that will not start
applicationsDiscover and manage web, worker, and private apps
environmentEnv vars and secrets (prefer DB link over pasting passwords)
databasesCreate, update, rotate, and link managed MySQL / PostgreSQL
storagePersistent application volumes
domainsCustom domains and DNS verification
projectsTeam context, limits, and project grouping
billingCredits, usage, portal, and top-ups

Each skill folder contains a SKILL.md file (and optional references/). Folder name must match the skill name in frontmatter.

Install skills manually

Clone the plugin once, then copy skills into your client’s skills directory (or install the full plugin where supported).

Terminal
git clone https://github.com/seenode/seenode-agent-plugin.git
cd seenode-agent-plugin

Skills only (global)

Copy every skill into your user skills directory so they apply across projects:

Terminal
mkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills
cp -R skills/* ~/.cursor/skills/

Skills only (this project)

Terminal
mkdir -p .cursor/skills
cp -R /path/to/seenode-agent-plugin/skills/* .cursor/skills/

Reload Cursor (Developer: Reload Window). In Agent chat you can invoke a skill with / and the skill name (for example /deploy).

Full plugin (skills + MCP config)

Until the Cursor marketplace listing is live, install the plugin locally:

Terminal
mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local
ln -s "$(pwd)" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/seenode

If a symlink is ignored, copy instead:

Terminal
rm -f ~/.cursor/plugins/local/seenode
cp -R "$(pwd)" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/seenode

Reload Cursor, then complete seenode OAuth when the MCP connects. See also Cursor plugin docs in the repo.

From a clone of the repository:

Terminal
claude plugin marketplace add /absolute/path/to/seenode-agent-plugin
claude plugin install seenode@seenode

Or load the plugin for a single session:

Terminal
claude --plugin-dir /absolute/path/to/seenode-agent-plugin

Complete OAuth when Claude prompts for the seenode MCP server.

Skills only

Claude also discovers skills under ~/.claude/skills/ and .claude/skills/:

Terminal
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

You still need MCP connected separately (see MCP).

Codex-compatible clients can load skills from ~/.codex/skills/ or .codex/skills/:

Terminal
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -R skills/* ~/.codex/skills/

The plugin’s .codex-plugin/ adapter also points at ./skills/ when you load the full plugin directory. Connect MCP with OAuth at https://mcp.seenode.com/mcp. Marketplace / ChatGPT app listing is separate and not required for local skill use.

After install

  1. Confirm MCP is connected and OAuth completed.
  2. Smoke-test with a read-only prompt, for example “What is my current seenode team?”
  3. Try a skill-backed flow, for example “Deploy this repository to seenode as a web app” (uses deploy).

Updating skills

Pull the latest plugin and re-copy (or re-sync your local plugin install):

Terminal
cd /path/to/seenode-agent-plugin
git pull
cp -R skills/* ~/.cursor/skills/

Use the same target directory you chose at install time (~/.cursor/skills, .cursor/skills, ~/.claude/skills, and so on).
