Search O'Reilly content with AI

Finds O'Reilly books, videos and courses for your topic using focused searches, and tells you when the signed-in account cannot see a title. The connector is read-only and changes nothing in your account.

Use it when

  • You want O'Reilly books or courses on a specific technology
  • You need to check whether a known title is in the catalogue
  • Your O'Reilly search returned an error or nothing useful

Example

Find me O'Reilly material on PostgreSQL 16 logical replication for a beginner.

I ran a search for "PostgreSQL 16 logical replication" and found 12 results, with more available. The most relevant are a recent guide to replication setup, a video course on failover and a chapter-level article on publication filters. I could confirm these appear in the catalogue, but not that your account can open all of them, so check that before relying on the video course.

How O’Reilly skills work

  1. Connect O’Reilly

    The O’Reilly MCP server gives the agent its tools.

  2. Ask in plain words

    “Find me O'Reilly material on PostgreSQL 16 logical replication for a beginner.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.

  3. Approve any change

    The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install O’Reilly skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect O’Reilly. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the O’Reilly MCP server connected there.

O’Reilly skills FAQ

What is a O’Reilly agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each O’Reilly skill describes one job, which O’Reilly tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the O’Reilly skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 1 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in O’Reilly.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect O’Reilly; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the O’Reilly MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the O’Reilly MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The O’Reilly MCP setup guide covers every client.
