Find skill

MCPfind_skillREADno token needed

Search the Docsbook docs-skills catalog (Docsbook-io/docs-skills) for a skill matching the user's request. Returns matching SKILL.md files with raw_url — read the skill via WebFetch and follow its steps. Use it when the user wants a repeatable, multi-step workflow. NOT the first move for a request a tool here answers directly — create_workspace, write_docs, update_, register_webhook_, get_ — call that tool. This tells you what is here, not what to do with it. If you have not already asked docsbook_expert what the user actually wants done, ask it — one call returns the ordered steps with the tool on each, and it changes nothing.

Arguments
querystringrequired

Free-text description of what the user wants, e.g. 'enable auto-translation' or 'create AGENTS.md'.

Try it over REST#

The same tool is callable as a plain HTTP request, no MCP client required. It runs on the same server, at the same price.

Your workspace is resolved from the API key, so workspace_id is decided server-side here and anything you send for it is ignored.

POST/api/v1/tools/find_skill
Authorization
Authorizationstringrequired

The arguments above, as one JSON object.
