  2. Or any MCP clientCursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others take a remote HTTP server in their MCP config:
    {"mcpServers":{"sva":{"type":"http","url":"https://your-sva-site/api/mcp"}}}
  3. Ask it things“Pods are crash-looping in prod. Which read-only skills should I start with?” Your agent can call:
    • search_skills finds skills for an incident or task, with safety labels
    • get_skill a skill's full case file and install command
    • skills_for_incident skills per phase: detect, triage, mitigate, postmortem
    • get_runbook step-by-step handbooks, read-only steps first
