Data Sources

This MCP server aggregates data from the following sources:

Source	Content	Update Frequency
anthropics/claude-plugins-official	Official plugin marketplace	Daily
punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers	Curated list of MCP servers	Daily
hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code	List of skills/workflows/hooks	Daily

Auto-Update Feature

How it works:

• The server automatically fetches the latest data from GitHub when it starts
• Falls back to bundled data if the remote fetch fails
• No manual updates or reinstallation required

Offline Mode (optional):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cc-recommender": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cc-recommender"],
      "env": {
        "CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

When CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE is enabled, only bundled data is used (no remote fetching).

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
CC_RECOMMENDER_OFFLINE_MODE	Disable auto-updates and use only bundled data	false
GITHUB_TOKEN	GitHub personal access token (increases API rate limit from 60 to 5000 req/hour)	Not set
SKIP_SECURITY_SCAN	Skip security scanning during data fetch (for developers)	false

Note: To fetch official skills from GitHub (Anthropic, Supabase, etc.), a GitHub token is recommended to avoid rate limits. Create a token at https://github.com/settings/tokens with public_repo scope.
