elicitly
An MCP server that enables human-in-the-loop elicitation, letting AI agents ask users questions via tools like elicit_confirm and elicit_form, with diagnostics to verify host elicitation support.
README
Elicitly — Free Edition
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
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?).

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.
