Claude Code

Thordata-serp-mcp Skill = Instructions enabling Claude Code to correctly use the ThorData SERP MCP.

Overview

Once you place the thordata-serp-mcp skill into the Claude Code skills folder, Claude Code will automatically reference the skill's rules when handling queries related to ThorData SERP.

This tutorial is designed for users installing a Claude Code skill for the first time. You simply need to copy the folder, restart Claude Code, and verify that it is working by asking a test question.

Claude Code automatically loads skills from the local skills folder; there is no need to modify code or configure an MCP service as described in this document.

Requirements

• Claude Code (CLI) installed

• Thordata-serp-mcp folder ready

• ThorData SERP MCP tool configured in Claude Code

If the third step has not yet been completed, the skill can still be installed, but Claude Code cannot actually initiate ThorData SERP searches.

How to install this skill?

1

Locate the Claude Code skills folder.

On Windows, the path is typically: C:\Users\your_username.claude\skills For example: \ C:\Users\user.claude\skills

If it is specific to a particular project, you can also place it within the project directory: \ <project_directory>.claude\skills

If the .claude or skills folders do not exist, you can create them manually.

2

Copy skills folder

Copy the entire thordata-serp-mcp folder into the skills folder.

After copying, it should look like this:

C:\Users\user.claude\skills -- thordata-serp-mcp\ |-- SKILL.md -- references `-- serp-rules.md

Please note: You need to copy the entire thordata-serp-mcp folder, not just the SKILL.md file inside it.

3

Restart Claude Code

Close the current session, exit Claude Code, and reopen a new session.

4

Testing whether it works

Enter the following into Claude Code:

Use ThorData SERP to search for the latest news about OpenAI and return the title, source, publication time, and link.

If successfully installed, Claude Code will recognize this as a ThorData SERP-related task and process it according to the skill's rules.

When to use this Skill

• Search for public results in Claude Code using the ThorData SERP MCP • Query news, web pages, images, videos, shopping, maps, local businesses, academic content, or trending topics • Perform SEO rank checks, price monitoring, local business research, or batch search tasks • Have Claude Code retain source links, query parameters, and timestamps

Frequently Asked Questions

Claude Code did not use this skill

• Make sure the folder is placed in C:\Users\yourusername.claude\skills (or .claude\skills within the project) •Confirm that the folder name is thordata-serp-mcp •Make sure there is SKILL.md in the folder •Confirm that Claude Code has been restarted after copying •Confirm your question is related to ThorData SERP, search results, news, shopping, maps or SEO rankings

Claude Code says it can't search?

This usually does not mean the skill installation failed. The skill simply tells Claude Code "how to use ThorData SERP." To actually perform searches, the ThorData SERP MCP tool must also be configured within Claude Code.

The returned result is missing a few fields?

This is normal. This skill instructs Claude Code to display only the fields actually returned. If the search results do not include price, rating, phone number, address, or publication time, Claude Code should not guess them.

How to uninstall

Delete this folder: C:\Users\YourUsername.claude\skills\thordata-serp-mcp Then restart Claude Code.

Deleting a skill will not affect already configured MCP tools.
