Documentation

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

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?).

Packages

Package	What it is
`elicitly`	The local stdio MCP server (`npx -y elicitly`)
`@elicitly/tools`	Embeddable 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.
