| Skill | Description | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| inngest-setup | Set up Inngest in a TypeScript project | SDK installation, client config, environment variables, dev server |
| inngest-events | Design and send Inngest events | Event schema, naming conventions, idempotency, fan-out patterns, system events |
| inngest-durable-functions | Create and configure Inngest durable functions | Triggers, step execution, memoization, cancellation, error handling, retries |
| inngest-steps | Use Inngest step methods to build durable workflows | step.run, step.sleep, step.waitForEvent, loops, parallel execution |
| inngest-flow-control | Configure Inngest flow control for functions | Concurrency limits, throttling, rate limiting, debounce, priority, batching |
| inngest-middleware | Create and use Inngest middleware for cross-cutting concerns | Middleware lifecycle, dependency injection, built-in middleware |
| inngest-realtime | Stream durable workflow updates to a UI in real time | v4 native realtime, channels, subscription tokens, useRealtime hook, SSE |
These skills are focused on TypeScript. Core concepts like events, steps, and flow control apply across all Inngest SDKs, but code examples and setup instructions are TypeScript-specific.
For Python or Go, refer to the Inngest documentation for language-specific guidance.

Load the Inngest skills from https://github.com/inngest/inngest-skills for building with Inngest's durable execution platform.
Reference this repository directly or clone it to your agent’s skills directory. Each skill is self-contained with full documentation in its SKILL.md file.
The plugin ships a .mcp.json that registers the local Inngest dev server’s MCP endpoint with Claude Code:
{
"mcpServers": {
"inngest-dev": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8288/mcp"
}
}
}
This lets the agent inspect runs, events, and function state on your local dev server while you’re working.
Port note: the URL is hardcoded to 8288, the Inngest dev server’s default. If 8288 is already in use, the dev server falls back to 8289+ — in that case, edit the url in .mcp.json to point at the active port. Run lsof -i :8288 (or check the dev server’s startup output) to find which port it bound to.
