• list_dir — List contents of a directory.
• glob_file_search — Find files by glob pattern.

Terminal & execution

• run_terminal_cmd — Run shell commands (npm, builds, dev servers, etc.).

File System & Code Navigation

• view_file — Read file contents.
• view_file_outline — High-level breakdown of classes/functions.
• view_code_item — View specific code nodes.
• list_dir — List directory contents.
• find_by_name — Find files by name (fd).
• grep_search — Search text/patterns in files (ripgrep).

Editing & Creation

• write_to_file — Create or overwrite files.

• System Resources — List/read system resources.

MCPs (Model Context Protocol)

Servers that expose extra tools to the agent (browser, Docker, etc.).

• MCP_DOCKER — User-level; Docker MCP gateway (docker mcp gateway run).
• cursor-ide-browser — Project-level; browser automation: navigate, snapshot, click, type, scroll, lock/unlock tabs. Use for frontend testing and live page interaction.

Agent skills

Cursor Agent Skills (SKILL.md) the agent can use when the task fits.

• create-rule — Create Cursor rules, coding standards, .cursor/rules/, RULE.md.
• create-skill — Create or edit Agent Skills (SKILL.md format, best practices).
• update-cursor-settings — Change Cursor/VSCode settings (settings.json).
• create-subagent — Subagent-related workflows.
• migrate-to-skills — Migrate existing guidance into skills.

SkillBox

Curated utility skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and 40+ AI agents. Install via Vercel Skills CLI.

Install: npx skills add antjanus/skillbox

• track-session — Track, stop, resume, save progress on long-running development sessions.
• git-worktree — Manage multiple branches simultaneously using git worktrees for parallel work.
• generate-skill — Interactive skill builder that generates high-quality SKILL.md files.
• ideal-react-component — Battle-tested React component structure pattern.
• rate-skill — Rate and evaluate skills.
