CloudBase Skills - Setup Guide

Source: tencentcloudbase/cloudbase-skills via skills.sh - 12.5K combined installs across 33 indexed listings; first seen Oct 9, 2026 (extended-query probe) GitHub: tencentcloudbase/cloudbase-skills (36 stars, MIT; pushed 2026-10-10; layout skills/cloudbase/SKILL.md, with sibling directories for the per-topic slices) Category: Cloud Development / Full-Stack Quality Tier: 🟡 Beta - official Tencent CloudBase; MIT; pushed Oct 10, 2026; one dominant listing; all sampled verdicts Pass

CloudBase is Tencent's platform for building and deploying full-stack apps: serverless cloud functions, document and relational databases, authentication, storage, hosting, and AI model access. This repository is the CloudBase team's own agent-skills collection, so the guidance tracks the product rather than a third party's notes. It sits at 12.5K combined installs across 33 indexed listings on skills.sh, and one skill is doing almost all of that work: cloudbase at 12,195 installs covers platform detection, per-platform auth (Web, WeChat Mini Program, Node.js), NoSQL and MySQL operations, cloud functions and CloudRun deployment, storage, AI model integration, and UI guidelines.

The other 32 listings are thin, targeted slices: miniprogram-development (14 installs) leads a tail that includes platform auth variants such as auth-web-cloudbase and auth-nodejs-cloudbase (9 each), database SDK skills such as cloudbase-document-database-web-sdk and relational-database-mcp-cloudbase (9 each), plus cloudbase-code-review (13), cloudbase-cli (13), ops-inspector (10), and spec-workflow (10). The practical pattern is to install the flagship skill and add slices only for the specific stack you are on. The README also recommends pairing the suite with the CloudBase MCP server for live tooling.

Installation

Prerequisites: Node.js for the npx skills CLI. The README additionally recommends the CloudBase MCP server for live environment and deployment tools.

# Skills CLI: installs the CloudBase skill collection
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/cloudbase-skills

Once installed, the README notes the skill is applied automatically when the agent detects a relevant CloudBase task. For the MCP pairing, add the server to your agent's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Config file locations by editor, per the README: .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor), .mcp.json (Claude Code), ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (Windsurf).

What It Provides

Install counts from the Oct 10, 2026 skills.sh snapshot:

Skill Installs Use For
cloudbase 12,195 Platform detection and SDK selection, per-platform auth flows, NoSQL and MySQL operations, cloud functions and CloudRun deployment, storage, AI models, and UI guidelines

The remaining 32 indexed listings range from 4 to 14 installs.

Why This Matters for Hermes Agents

CloudBase is where a large share of WeChat-ecosystem and Chinese-market products are built, and official guidance beats model priors: an agent that guesses at CloudBase APIs writes code that fails at deploy time. The flagship skill encodes the platform's real decision tree, including which SDK a Web or Mini Program project needs, how auth flows differ per platform, when to use document versus relational storage, and how functions and CloudRun deploy. Because Tencent maintains it, the material reflects what the platform team actually ships, it is MIT licensed, and it was pushed as recently as Oct 10, 2026. The MCP pairing matters for agents doing ops work: it turns deployment guidance into live calls for environment management and database operations. The 32 tiny listings are best treated as optional add-ons, lightly exercised, so review each SKILL.md before relying on one. For a Hermes agent working in the CloudBase ecosystem, this is the highest-signal skill source in the catalog for that platform.

Usage

You say What happens
"Build a WeChat Mini Program with CloudBase login and a document database" The cloudbase skill selects the Mini Program SDK, sets up the auth flow, and applies document-database patterns
"Deploy this cloud function to my CloudBase environment" Cloud functions and CloudRun deployment guidance; with the CloudBase MCP server installed, live deployment tooling
"Add a MySQL-backed API to my web app" Relational database guidance for the web stack, routed through the matching database slice
"Set up Node.js auth for my CloudBase backend" auth-nodejs-cloudbase (9 installs) covers the Node.js auth pattern end to end
"Review this CloudBase code for platform mistakes" cloudbase-code-review (13 installs) checks for idiomatic API usage
"Scaffold this feature from a spec" spec-workflow (10 installs) turns the spec into a structured build plan
"Check my CloudBase environment for problems" ops-inspector (10 installs) walks the environment for issues

Verification

# Confirm the collection installed (paths depend on your agent)
npx skills list | grep -i cloudbase

# Review the flagship skill straight from GitHub before installing (returns 200)
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tencentcloudbase/cloudbase-skills/main/skills/cloudbase/SKILL.md | head -20

After install, confirm the layout: skills/cloudbase/SKILL.md for the flagship, with per-topic directories alongside it. If the MCP pairing is in play, check that the cloudbase server starts from your MCP config.

Security

skills.sh verdicts for sampled skills (verified Oct 10, 2026) - re-check the security pages on skills.sh before production use:

Skill Gen Agent Trust Hub Socket Snyk
cloudbase Pass Pass Pass
cloudbase-database - - -
cloudbase-functions - - -

The flagship skill passed all three engines; the other two sampled listings returned no engine data. The tail is largely unsampled, so review individual SKILL.md files before depending on a small listing in production.

Integration with CorpusIQ

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations

  • Small repository: 36 GitHub stars and first indexed Oct 9, 2026; official work, but young, so expect churn.
  • One dominant listing: cloudbase holds 12,195 of 12,499 installs; the other 32 listings sit at 4 to 14 installs each and are lightly exercised.
  • The 4 to 14-install tail is unsampled by the security engines; review each SKILL.md before depending on it.
  • Platform lock-in: everything here targets Tencent CloudBase and does not port to other clouds.
  • The recommended CloudBase MCP server is a separate install with its own credentials and trust surface.
  • Snapshot data, verified Oct 10, 2026: 12.5K combined installs across 33 indexed listings; 36 GitHub stars; MIT; last pushed Oct 10, 2026. Counts drift over time.

Pro Tips

  • Start with the flagship cloudbase skill alone; it covers the full platform surface and accounts for nearly 98% of installs.
  • Add slices only for the stack you are on: auth-nodejs-cloudbase for Node.js auth, cloudbase-document-database-web-sdk for web document DB access, relational-database-mcp-cloudbase for MySQL through MCP.
  • Pair with CloudBase MCP when the agent needs to do live operations, not just write code.
  • Keep the MCP config in the editor-specific file (.mcp.json, .cursor/mcp.json, or the Windsurf config) and credentials out of version control.
  • The repo was pushed Oct 10, 2026; refresh the skill before starting a new CloudBase project so guidance matches the current API surface.
