Elicitly — Free Edition

npm — elicitly npm — @elicitly/tools Docs License: Apache-2.0 CI Coverage elicitly MCP server — quality and maintenance score on Glama

Your AI has questions. Your users have answers. Elicitly connects them — human-in-the-loop for prompts and Agent Skills over MCP elicitation.

This repository is the open-source Free Edition: the elicitly local MCP server and the @elicitly/tools library. The hosted Pro Edition — durable approvals with review pages, an audit trail, and organization dashboards — lives at elicitly.ai.

Quick start

Run the local (stdio) MCP server straight from npm — no clone, no config:

npx -y elicitly

Register it in your MCP host (Claude Code shown; any stdio host works):

claude mcp add elicitly -- npx -y elicitly

Or skip the command line: in Claude Desktop, download elicitly.mcpb from the latest release and open it — a one-click, self-contained desktop extension.

Then ask your agent to call elicit_confirm ("Ship it?"), elicit_form (your own JSON schema), or elicit_doctor (does this host actually support elicitation?).

Packages

PackageWhat it is
elicitlyThe local stdio MCP server (npx -y elicitly)
@elicitly/toolsEmbeddable toolkit: register the elicitation tools on your own McpServer

Why

MCP has a native answer for asking a human — elicitation — but host support is inconsistent, and only an MCP server can trigger it. Nobody wants to roll their own server just to ask a question. Elicitly is that server (or, via @elicitly/tools, the toolkit inside yours), plus the diagnostic (elicit_doctor) that makes real-world host support visible — feeding the public Support Matrix.

Config for your environment

Replace {MCP_ENDPOINT_URL} with this MCP’s endpoint URL (from its repo or docs above). No API key — you connect directly.

Tool

OS

Config file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "url": "{MCP_ENDPOINT_URL}"
    }
  }
}

Paste into mcpServers in the config file. Restart Cursor after saving.

If this MCP is also published on mcpchannel.ai, you can subscribe from Browse and use the gateway config there instead.
