Methodology
A listing is here because the project is real, the source is public, and a non-developer can understand what it is for.
SkillsByRole is a directory, not a leaderboard. We do not publish star ratings, download counts, testimonials, or subscriber numbers. If we have not measured it, it is not on the page.
Where the words come from
Each summary was written in October 2026 from that project's README or, when the README is missing, from the company's own docs. The HubSpot GitHub repository in this edition is empty, so that listing follows HubSpot's developer changelog and docs and says so. We do not add features that are not in the source. Example prompts are tasks the source says the tool can do. They are not transcripts of a test.
Untested means untested
lastTested is empty and testResult is untested for every listing in this edition. Nobody at SkillsByRole has installed them against a live account as part of publishing the directory. A later edition can fill those fields only after a named test. Approval in the review queue does not count as a test, and it does not publish a listing by itself. Accepted submissions are added by editing the directory file.
Labels
Risk. Low means the listing is instructions, or it only reads the public web. Medium means it can read private business data, run scripts on files you hand it, or spend credits, without being a direct line to money or a customer reply. High means it can create or change records in a system of record, send messages, or open a payments account.
Setup. 1 is an install button or a hosted sign-in the publisher documents as a short connect flow. 2 is pasting an address, a key into a settings file, or copying a skill folder. 3 is a terminal install, a local server, or an OAuth app you have to register yourself.
Cost. Free means you can try the core capability without buying that vendor's product. A free tier counts, and the listing says when use is metered. Paid account means the useful path requires a subscription to that product, such as QuickBooks, Xero, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias, Plain, Help Scout, or the Brave Search API. We do not print prices.
Maintainer. Official means the company that owns the product publishes it. Community means someone else does. A community server can be careful and still is not the vendor's product.
Featured. A starting point for that kind of work, chosen by the editor. It is not a popularity rank.
What we leave out
We do not list servers whose job is to steal credentials, hide malware, or bypass a product's access controls. We did not list an official Zendesk MCP server because Zendesk's help pages we checked document an MCP client, not a confirmed official server. Help Scout appears as a community project because that is the server we could verify.
Sponsorship does not change a summary. A sponsor can buy a placement that is labeled as a placement, such as the bar or a /go link. We will not invent traffic to sell it. The sponsor page is how that conversation starts. There is no checkout in this version.
Corrections go through the submit form. If storage is not configured on the deployment, the form will say so instead of pretending the note was saved.
