Quickstart

Install the CLI, run a search, and let mdsc learn which URLs show up from real client routes. Managed search keys are there for reliability, not as the whole product.

Install

Install CLI

curl -fsSL https://mdscanner.dev/install.sh | bash

Core Commands

sksc search "postgres skill"
sksc show 1
sksc pull 1
sksc install 1
sksc update
sksc key set YOUR_API_KEY

Search Paths

cache_hit: mdsc already has a promoted result for the query.

local_unverified: the search ran from the user's route and the resulting URLs were reported for analytics and rankings.

managed: mdsc used a managed-search key because local methods were unavailable or rate-limited.

Telemetry And Rankings

By default, the CLI reports query metadata and the full result URLs it showed. mdsc stores deduped URL exposures so all-time stars and trending can reflect what users actually see.

Use SKSC_TELEMETRY=0 to disable search telemetry from the CLI.

View rankings or read the privacy page.

Managed Search Keys

If no healthy local method is available, the CLI can guide the user to create a managed-search key.

Free keys get 50 managed-search calls per month. Usage from 51 to 55 returns upgrade prompts. Beyond that, the user must upgrade to Alpha.

Create a key or view Alpha.

Machine-Readable Files

/skill.md, /llms.txt, /robots.txt, and /sitemap.xml are public and intentionally concise.

Notes

Promoted cache is now a narrower layer above telemetry. The main product value is learning what people search for and which URLs actually surface.
