}before you start
Three things you need.
You can finish all three in under five minutes. The free tier is enough to try every public Skilski and run the Quickstart end-to-end.
error reference
Errors you will see in production.
Every error returns a JSON-RPC body with a numeric code, a human message, and (when applicable) a retryAfterMs hint. Honor it.
-32700
Parse error
Body is not valid JSON. Check your client serialization.
-32601
Method not found
Method is not exposed at the skil.ski MCP root. See protocol reference.
401
Unauthorized
Missing or rotated MCP token. Generate a new one in /lodge.
429
Rate limited
Sliding-window cap per tier. Honor the Retry-After header — rate windows reset on a 60s rolling clock.
503
Capability disabled
Operator-paused for maintenance. The error body lists ETA + alternatives.
compatible clients
Works in 12+ AI clients.
MCP is the open standard. If your client speaks MCP, the skil.ski endpoint works without custom plumbing.
