Developer tools For it and development Developer Tools

DiscoMCP is a helper that watches how you use another AI tool server and writes a short guide for your AI about your own habits. It is handy if you connect your AI to a big tool with lots of actions and it keeps fumbling around. Think of it as a friendly scout that maps the place for you, without touching anything.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. DiscoMCP is itself an MCP server, and its skill is to study another MCP server and learn how you use it. So instead of your AI wandering through a hundred actions, it gets a short guide about the ones you really use, in the order you use them.

What this MCP server does

You point DiscoMCP at another MCP server, the kind that connects your AI to some app or data. Your AI then explores that server through DiscoMCP, which only allows steps it can prove are safe reads. DiscoMCP watches which actions get used, in what order, and against which data, and turns that into a written skill file. You then hand that file to your AI, and next time it knows your shortcuts instead of guessing. Nothing is ever changed or deleted while it learns.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Learn how I use my Notion helper and write it down”, on your own computer the DiscoMCP server works with your own computer, and you get back A skill file your AI can read.

Try asking your AI

“Profile my Notion MCP server and write a skill for how I use it”
“Explore this MCP server read-only and tell me which actions I actually use”
“Generate a SKILL.md for my database MCP server based on my recent usage”
“What are the safe read-only tools on this server and how do they chain together”

What it gives back to you

You get a skill file written to a profiles folder, usually named SKILL.md, that your AI can read. It describes your workflows, the order of steps, the data you actually work with, and a safety class for each tool. In the chat you will see a summary of what was learned and where the file was saved.
