# SkillDiscs API

> Turn your SkillDiscs library into a knowledge base for LLM agents.

The SkillDiscs API gives LLM agents and your own tools secure, read-only access to the Disks in your SkillDiscs library — your distilled YouTube videos, PDFs, articles, and notes.

## What you can do

* **Search** owned Disks with natural language.
* **List** owned and active-saved Disks, filter by scope, category, or tag.
* **Read** a single Disk including its sections and key points.
* **Batch** retrieve up to 10 Disks in a single call.
* **Connect MCP clients** to the same read-only knowledge tools at `https://skilldiscs.com/api/mcp`.

<Note>
  Verbatim source text is conditional. Owner-private Disks can return full `text` and `sections[].text`; published or saved Disks return redacted, AI-derived fields and short snippets instead.
</Note>
