Claude Omakase

An MCP server that turns Claude into a proactive skill curator.
It notices when you keep doing the same thing by hand — then offers the right skill.
No searching. No docs. Just say yes or no.

How it works

1. You install the MCP server — one npx command added to your MCP host config.
2. Claude watches — the bundled omakase-chef skill instructs Claude to monitor your workflow in the background.
3. Claude notices — after you repeat the same kind of manual task three times, Claude surfaces the right skill from the catalog.
4. You approve — Claude installs it to ~/.claude/skills/ and it's active next session.

First time? Claude greets you with a starter pack of universally useful skills so you're not starting from zero.

Search that speaks your language. find_skill ranks the catalog by keyword plus LLM-generated synonyms in both English and Korean, then returns the top candidates and lets Claude rerank them by reading the descriptions — so a query like 웹사이트 크롤링 or "scrape a site" both land on the right web-scraping skill, even when its description is in the other language. Search only has to surface the answer somewhere in the top few; Claude (already in the loop) picks the best fit — no extra model at serving time.

Install

As a Claude Code plugin (recommended)

One command installs everything — the MCP server, the omakase-chef skill, and all three proactive hooks, auto-registered:

/plugin marketplace add gyuch-an02/claude-omakase
/plugin install claude-omakase@omakase

Restart your Claude session and the chef is active. No settings.json editing, no separate installer.

Manual install (Claude Desktop / other MCP hosts, or à la carte)

# 1. Install the omakase-chef skill + copy the hooks
npx -y -p claude-omakase claude-omakase-install

# 2. Add the MCP server to your Claude Code config
claude mcp add omakase -- npx -y claude-omakase

The manual path copies the hooks but does not register them — opt in by pasting the printed snippet into your settings.json (see Proactive hooks). Don't combine both paths: the plugin already registers the hooks, so adding the snippet too would run every hook twice.

Requirements: Node.js 20+, Claude Code (or another MCP host that supports stdio servers).
