Guide for using ToolHive CLI (thv) to run and manage MCP servers and skills. Use when running, listing, stopping, building, or configuring MCP servers locally. Covers server lifecycle, registry browsing, secrets management, client registration, groups, container builds, exports, permissions, network isolation, authentication, and skill management (install, uninstall, list, info, build, push, validate). NOT for Kubernetes operator usage or ToolHive development/contributing.

The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
The docs show protocol-based runtime inputs (e.g. thv run npx://@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem, npx://@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything, npx://@launchdarkly/mcp-server, uvx://mcp-server-git (and uvx://mcp-server-git@1.0.0), go://github.com/example/mcp-server (and go://github.com/example/mcp-server@latest)) that are invoked at runtime to fetch and execute remote packages/code, so they are runtime external dependencies that execute remote code.

If you maintain this skill, you can claim it as your own. Once claimed, you can manage eval scenarios, bundle related skills, attach documentation or rules, and ensure cross-agent compatibility.
