Superpowers

You set up the Superpowers MCP Server to bring expert skills workflows into Augment CLI. This MCP server exposes the Superpowers skills library as actionable tools you can load and run from your AI coding assistant, enabling consistent, proven strategies for your coding tasks.

How to use

You interact with the MCP server through your MCP-enabled client (such as Augment) to list available skills and load a specific skill for guided work. To start, ensure the MCP server is running and registered in your client so you can access the skills library alongside your personal skills.

Use the client’s built-in capabilities to discover skills and load them by name. Typical actions include listing available skills and loading a particular skill to guide your session. The server exposes main actions as tools you can invoke from your client to access the Superpowers workflows.

How to install

Prerequisites you must have before installing the MCP server:

Node.js v18 or higher

Git

Augment CLI with MCP support

Proceed with the following steps to install the MCP server and enable it in your environment.

git clone https://github.com/jmcdice/superpower-mcp.git
cd superpower-mcp
./install.sh

Additional content

Configuration enables your client to connect to the MCP server. You will add an MCP server entry to your Augment settings so the client can start the server process and route skill requests appropriately.

The following configuration snippet shows how to register the MCP server in your client settings.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superpowers": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/superpower-mcp/superpowers-mcp.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace "/path/to/superpower-mcp/" with the actual path where you cloned this project. The installer will show you the exact path to use.

Restart Augment after updating the configuration to load the new MCP server.

Test the setup by asking Augment to list available skills or to load a specific skill from the Superpowers library.

## Managing the server

Update the upstream Superpowers resources and refresh your local copy, then restart the client to pick up changes.

To update the repository and apply new skills, run the update flow and then restart Augment.
