## FAQ

### What is the difference between a server and a skill?

A server entry provides specific capabilities like interacting with GitHub or querying databases, while a skill is a reusable prompt or workflow that combines those tools to complete tasks.

### Do I need a Docker image for my MCP server?

If you are using a container-based server, yes, it must be packaged as a Docker image and published to a registry. For remote servers, a Docker image is not required as long as you provide a URL endpoint.
