Entry Fields

Field	Required	Type	Description
`name`	✅	string	Unique identifier (kebab-case recommended)
`description`	✅	string	One-sentence human-readable description
`dcc`	✅	list[string]	Supported DCC types (e.g. `[maya, blender]`)
`url`	✅	string	Repository or documentation URL
`tags`	❌	list[string]	Searchable tags (e.g. `skills`, `adapter`, `official`, `community`)

CLI Usage

bash

# Search by keyword (matches name, description, DCC type, or tag)
dcc-mcp-server catalog search --query maya

# Search with no query → list all entries
dcc-mcp-server catalog search

# Describe a specific entry by exact name
dcc-mcp-server catalog describe --name dcc-mcp-maya-skills

Output is JSON-formatted for easy parsing.

MCP Resource Usage

The gateway publishes the catalog as MCP resources (#813 phase 2). Read them via resources/read:

python

# Full index, optional ?query=... keyword filter
result = client.resources_read("gateway://catalog?query=blender")
# Returns: { "total": N, "query": "blender", "entries": [{"name": "...", "description": "...", "dcc": [...], "url": "...", "tags": [...]}] }

# Single entry by exact name
result = client.resources_read("gateway://catalog/dcc-mcp-blender-skills")
# Returns: single entry, or `-32002` error if not found

Custom Catalog Path

Override the default dcc-mcp-catalog.yml location:

bash

DCC_MCP_CATALOG_PATH=/path/to/my-catalog.yml dcc-mcp-server ...

Or set programmatically before calling the gateway tools.

Search Behavior

Case-insensitive substring match on name, description, dcc, and tags
Empty query returns all entries
describe requires an exact name match (case-sensitive)
