Details
From the project README@three-ws/marketplace-mcp
Browse the three.ws agent marketplace and skills catalog from any AI agent.
A Model Context Protocol server that gives any AI assistant browse and discovery of the three.ws marketplace over stdio. Search and page the published agents, drill into one by id, and explore the reusable skills catalog — all from the public three.ws API.
No API key, no signer, no payment — every call hits the public /api/marketplace and /api/skills endpoints. Creating or publishing agents and skills is the authenticated write path on the HTTP API; this server exposes browse/discovery only.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
