安装

选择你的客户端

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

打开 Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config。保存后重启应用。

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor 使用与 Claude Desktop 相同的 mcpServers 格式。项目级配置优先于全局。

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

点击 Cline 侧栏中的 MCP Servers 图标，然后选 "Edit Configuration"。

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

格式与 Claude Desktop 相同。重启 Windsurf 生效。

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "family-history-research-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue 使用服务器对象数组，而非映射。

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill",
          "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

加入 context_servers。Zed 保存后热重载。

claude mcp add family-history-research-skill -- git clone https://github.com/emaynard/claude-family-history-research-skill ~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill

一行命令搞定。用 claude mcp list 验证，claude mcp remove 卸载。

使用场景

实战用法： Family History Research Skill

Plan a research session for one ancestor's birth date

👤 Genealogists ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

何时使用： You don't know where to look next for an ancestor stuck pre-1850.

前置条件

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

步骤

Frame

Using the genealogy skill, frame a research question for finding John Smith's birth date (b. ~1820, Cork, Ireland).✓ 已复制

→ Research question + source hierarchy
Plan

Generate a search plan with specific record sets (Irish civil registration, Catholic parish registers, US naturalization).✓ 已复制

→ Ordered, scoped search plan

结果： A real plan instead of random Ancestry hunts.

注意事项

Skill is methodology, not database. You still need subscriptions to Ancestry/FamilySearch/FindMyPast for the records themselves. — Skill is methodology, not database. You still need subscriptions to Ancestry/FamilySearch/FindMyPast for the records themselves.

常见错误与修复

skill suggests invented record sets

Ask it to cite the record set's URL and verify on FamilySearch/Ancestry catalog before searching.

验证： Catalog entry exists

citations don't render

Skill outputs Evidence Explained format. Use a markdown viewer that supports footnotes.

验证： Render with pandoc
