How UnifAPI Skills turn task prompts into MCP calls over live public-data APIs.
Skills are task-specific workflows an agent can run with UnifAPI MCP. They start from an outcome — a KOL pricing brief, creator shortlist, social listening summary, or competitor launch analysis — then let the agent discover and call public-data operations as needed.
The recommended path is Skills-first: choose the task result, use the install path your AI client supports, then sign in when the MCP server needs live public data. Non-developer users should not need to run npx skills or hand-wire raw skill files.
Use path
Start from a Skill. Use the UnifAPI Skill catalog to choose the artifact the agent should produce.
Add UnifAPI to your agent client. Use the verified MCP setup path your client supports:
Claude connectors, ChatGPT developer mode custom apps, OpenClaw or Hermes MCP config,
Codex/Claude Code CLI setup, or Cursor/VS Code mcp.json. If the client asks for a connector
URL, use https://mcp.unifapi.com.
Keep raw skills as a developer fallback. npx skills add unifapi-agent/agents remains
supported for local raw-skill installs, but it is not the main onboarding path.
Skill model
Start with the result. A Skill prompt names the artifact the agent should produce, such as a ranked creator table or competitive brief.
Discover operations through MCP. The agent uses list_operations and get_operation to
find public-data APIs that match the task.
Call live public data. The agent uses call_api only when it needs evidence, then returns
the result with assumptions, confidence, and follow-up questions.
First benchmark Skill
The first public benchmark is KOL Pricing:
Analyze these Twitter/X KOLs for an AI developer-tool campaign: @vercel, @shadcn, @rauchg.
Use UnifAPI public data, compare recent engagement, audience fit, posting cadence, and collaboration risk.
Return a ranked table with estimated sponsored-post price ranges, confidence, evidence, and follow-up questions.This runs well in Claude, ChatGPT custom apps, OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or any compatible MCP client. The user keeps their existing agent plan; UnifAPI bills only the public-data records returned by call_api.
Data boundary
UnifAPI Skills use public data. OAuth authorizes the UnifAPI MCP workspace and credit balance; it does not grant access to a user's private Twitter/X, Google, CRM, or SaaS account.
Use a connector platform when a workflow needs user-authorized SaaS data. Use UnifAPI when the workflow needs public social records, posts, comments, profiles, videos, trends, communities, or company signals.
Output expectations
A Skill should return a decision artifact, not raw API dumps:
- evidence-backed tables or briefs
- assumptions and confidence notes
- source operations used
- follow-up searches the agent should run
- risks, missing evidence, and next actions
