Tags are short labels that writers attach to Resources for browsing and filtering. They are drawn from a single catalog shared across all Kinds and all Resources in the Registry — a Skill and an MCP Server can carry the same Tag. This page explains the Tag catalog, how Tags relate to Resources, and how to use Tag filtering across the API, CLI, and MCP server.Documentation Index

The Tag catalog
Every Tag has a stableid (a UUID) and a human-readable name. The id is what the Registry stores in its many-to-many join table; the name is what writers and agents type. Because every reference is by id:
- Renaming a Tag changes it everywhere it is attached. A single
PATCH /api/tags/{id}call updates the name for every Resource that carries that Tag. - Tags are Registry metadata, not written into a Resource’s frontmatter or payload. A
SKILL.mdfile never contains a tag; Tags are attached after publish via the web interface or the API. - The catalog is shared across Kinds. There is one tag named
engineering, not one per Kind.
Tag names are the human-facing identifier; Tag ids are internal opaque UUIDs. The CLI and MCP server resolve names to ids automatically — you never need to look up or store a Tag id yourself.
Tag name rules
Tag names are lowercase, following the same normalisation rule the Registry applies on match. A writer enteringTesting is matched against testing. Tag names may contain lowercase alphanumerics and hyphens.
Managing Tags
Attaching Tags to a Resource
Writers attach or replace a Resource’s Tags via the web interface or the API. The operation is a full replacement — the body lists every Tag name the Resource should carry after the call; any Tag not in the list is detached.writer role is required — the same bar as publishing a Resource.
Renaming a Tag
Admins can rename a Tag via the API. The rename propagates to every Resource carrying that Tag.admin role is required — stricter than attaching a Tag, because a rename affects every Resource in the catalog.
Listing all Tags
The full Tag catalog is public — no authentication required. The CLI and MCP server fetch it automatically when resolving a name to an id.Filtering by Tag
- API
- CLI
- MCP
Pass one or more To filter by name, first resolve it via
tag_id query parameters to GET /api/resources. Tag ids are UUIDs; malformed values are silently dropped.GET /api/tags, then pass the id.Tag reference
GET /api/tags
Returns the full Tag catalog. Public — no authentication required. Used by the CLI and MCP to resolve names to ids.
PUT /api/resources/{id}/tags
Replaces a Resource’s full Tag set. Requires
writer role. Creates new catalog entries for names not yet in the catalog.PATCH /api/tags/{id}
Renames a Tag across the entire catalog. Requires
admin role.skillset://tags/{tag}
MCP resource template. Lists all Skills carrying a Tag, by Tag name.
