Installing the local agent skills plugin

The WireMock Cloud agent skills plugin is also available in a local-server variant, wiremock-cloud-local. It ships the same eight skills as the recommended remote plugin, but talks to a local, stdio MCP server launched by the WireMock CLI (wiremock mcp) instead of the hosted mcp.wiremock.cloud server. Choose the local variant if:

your network can’t reach mcp.wiremock.cloud directly
you need HTTP request authentication with credentials stored locally
you have an existing local WireMock CLI setup you want the skills to use

Install whichever variant matches your setup - not both, since they’d both register an MCP server named wiremock.

Prerequisites

The local plugin’s bundled MCP configuration runs wiremock mcp, so you need the WireMock CLI installed and authenticated first:

npm i -g @wiremock/cli
wiremock login

Supported agents

Add the marketplace registry, then install the local plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add wiremock-inc/skills
claude plugin install wiremock-cloud-local@wiremock-inc-skills

Or within an interactive Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add wiremock-inc/skills
/plugin install wiremock-cloud-local@wiremock-inc-skills

This installs all eight skills and configures the local MCP server to run wiremock mcp.

Add the marketplace registry, then install the local plugin:

/plugin marketplace add wiremock-inc/skills
/plugin install wiremock-cloud-local@wiremock-inc-skills

Run /reload-plugins afterwards. This works the same way from the Cursor editor or the Cursor CLI (cursor agent).

Add the marketplace registry:

codex plugin marketplace add wiremock-inc/skills

Then install wiremock-cloud-local from the /plugins picker, or your Codex CLI version’s equivalent install command.

Add the marketplace registry containing the WireMock skills, then install the local plugin:

copilot plugin marketplace add wiremock-inc/skills
copilot plugin install wiremock-cloud-local@wiremock-inc-skills

Or within an interactive session:

/plugin marketplace add wiremock-inc/skills
/plugin install wiremock-cloud-local@wiremock-inc-skills

The GitHub Copilot coding agent and VS Code agent mode discover skills from .github/skills/ or .claude/skills/ directories in your repository - they don’t support the marketplace plugin system above, so skills and the MCP server are set up as two separate steps.Clone the local-variant skills into your project’s .github/skills/ directory:

git clone https://github.com/wiremock-inc/skills.git /tmp/wiremock-skills
cp -r /tmp/wiremock-skills/copilot-local/skills/* .github/skills/
rm -rf /tmp/wiremock-skills

Then configure the local MCP server separately - see Installing the WireMock Cloud MCP server.

Copy the local-variant skills into your project:

git clone https://github.com/wiremock-inc/skills.git /tmp/wiremock-skills
cp -r /tmp/wiremock-skills/copilot-local/skills/* .github/skills/
rm -rf /tmp/wiremock-skills

After reloading VS Code, the skills will be available in Copilot chat agent mode. Then configure the local MCP server separately - see Installing the WireMock Cloud MCP server.

For any agent that supports the Agent Skills format but not the marketplace plugin system above, clone the skills repository and copy the copilot-local/skills/ directory contents into the location your agent expects (any of the copilot-local/, cursor-local/, or codex-local/ skill directories are equivalent open-standard content):

git clone https://github.com/wiremock-inc/skills.git /tmp/wiremock-skills
cp -r /tmp/wiremock-skills/copilot-local/skills/* <your-agent-skills-directory>/
rm -rf /tmp/wiremock-skills

Common skill directory locations:

Agent	Directory
Gemini CLI	`.gemini/skills/`
JetBrains Junie	`.junie/skills/`
Goose	`.goose/skills/`
Roo Code	`.roo/skills/`

Consult your agent’s documentation for the exact path and any additional configuration. Then configure the local MCP server separately - see Installing the WireMock Cloud MCP server.
