MCP Server Mode For Native Agent Integration

The MCP server mode slashes outdated hook dependencies by letting agents call skim directly as a native tool - no Bash intermediaries, no shell risks. Instead of fragile per-agent scripts that miss 60% of file ops, MCP Server exposes skim as a standardized, secure interface. It supports four modes - structure, signatures, types, full - with built-in token limits for efficient output. Tools like skim_read handle complex files with precision, while skim_run compresses command output perfect for CI workflows. Crucially, no shell injection is needed - agent control stays intact. This shift isn’t just faster; it’s safer. Yet, many still assume native tool access is impossible via hooks - yet MCP Server proves otherwise. The real blind spot? Most users don’t realize they’re bypassed by outdated hook logic. Safe integration means trusting the agent’s own context, not fragile shell parsing. Are you still building around brittle intermediaries - or embracing the native tool you actually have?
