Find skills you didn’t know to look for
Start with the task, even when you don’t know the name of a skill. Your agent can search for relevant guidance.
Skills for the work in front of you
Describe your task. 9octopus helps your agent discover and use relevant skills—even ones you didn’t know existed.
Connect once through MCP. No separate installation for each skill.
Requires Streamable HTTP and OAuth sign-in.
Task searches use OpenAI for semantic matching. Do not include secrets or repository contents.
Examples of MCP clients
Choose your agent for setup instructions. Availability depends on your client, plan, and workspace settings.

A task, in practice
Follow a browser check from a vague “review this form” request to a labeled email field and a button you can reach with your keyboard.
You bring the task
“Check a signup form for accessible labels and keyboard operation.”
The sample form has visible email text that is not connected to its input, and a clickable Subscribe control that Tab skips.
Inspect the original sample →A real skill, loaded through 9octopus
We loaded the Playwright skill and used its snapshot → interact → check workflow.
The browser exposed an unnamed textbox and a generic Subscribe element. The agent still needed terminal access and an installed browser to perform the check.
The result, checked
We added an associated label and a native button. Tab now reaches Subscribe; Enter completes the demo. Try it below. No data is sent or saved.
This verifies two behaviors in a sample form, not full accessibility conformance.

From a request to a result
Real skill releases, sample inputs, and outputs you can inspect.
Find a missing label and an unreachable control in a sample signup flow, then verify the corrected form in a real browser.

Read the worked exampleFrom task to capability
Start with an agent that supports remote MCP over Streamable HTTP with OAuth sign-in. Connect it to 9octopus, then ask it to find a skill for the task in front of you.
Add the 9octopus MCP server to your agent’s MCP client configuration and approve the connection.
Ask your connected agent to find a relevant skill for the work you want to do.
Your agent retrieves the skill instructions and supporting files it needs, then uses them to carry out the task.
Built around your work
Start with the task, even when you don’t know the name of a skill. Your agent can search for relevant guidance.
Use the same skill library across agents that support remote MCP connections. Connect each agent to 9octopus and keep your capabilities in one place.
Once your client is connected, your agent can retrieve skill instructions and supporting files as needed. No copying each skill into each project.
